And as to my earlier point, they really came together down the stretch. Imagine if they had played that level for an entire season? That is what I am looking forward to this year. Maybe add a little help to the pass rush, depth at CB, and with an even more potent offense (Joe Burrow with protection?) they could be a top 5 unit despite the 3rd toughest schedule in 2022.
That can help a defense so much. Not only in time on the field but also field position and playing with a lead so on.
