Top 4 Offenses:

   Arizona: Played 4 defenses in the top half of the league.
   New England: Played 5 defenses in the top half of the league.
   Carolina: Played 3 defenses in the top half of the league.
   Cincinnati: Played 7 defenses in the top half of the league

Top 4 Defenses:

   Cincinnati: Played 7 offenses in the top half of the league.
   Minnesota: Played 4 offenses in the top half of the league.
   Carolina: Played 3 offenses in the top half of the league.
   Denver: Played 6 offenses in the top half of the league.

Not only are the Bengals in the Top 4 offensively and defensively (in points per game), but they have done it against higher quality opponents than the other teams.

Good post and info!!!  Thanks!!

That is re-assuring to see that not only are we a well balanced team, but that we have gone up against better competition and done well.  There is no reason we can't continue down that same path, all the way to the Super Bowl.  Now, let's get it done!!!
