None of these guys played together last year. They needed time to gel.
That average of 2.2 sacks over the last 5 games would equal 37 sacks in a 17 game season, which would be a remarkable turnaround.
Right, it's about the trend and overall sack %. For the season, Cincinnati has an 8.4% sack percentage, which is good for 26th. However, from week three to current, that sack percentage is 5.6%, which is good for 17th. Is it stellar? No, but it is a significant improvement.
