All I heard (and saw) was how their RBs had so much space before initial contact and their QBs had all day to throw. Seemed like bad QB play might have hurt their scores? Watson clearly didn't have his timing and had tons of pressures that could have been avoided if he sped up the process a bit. In other words, he would have been killed (like many others) behind Joe Burrow's line.
Cleveland was quite poor in yards before contact. They ranked 24th, averaging only 1.05 yards before contact (league average was 1.29 yards). They were slightly better than league average in pressures allowed and slightly worse than league average in sacks allowed, but this is largely offset by the absurd TTT Cleveland QBs had (3.03 seconds). It's really their poor rushing that pushes them down. Removing the rushing data, they rank 16th. Adding the rushing data pushes them down to 20th. There's probably an argument for considering raising the impact of TTT, but I only want it to be a slight modifier so I would have to play with it some.
EDIT - I just raised the impact of TTT and with all data included, Cleveland would rank 17th with this change. Cincinnati drops to 28th.
