22.3 points per game allowed ---> 17.5 points per game allowed
347 yards per game allowed ---> 311 yards per game allowed
15 points per game on offense would make them the 29th scoring offense, but 18 makes them 23rd.
22.3 points per game allowed would make them the 17th scoring defense, but 17.5 makes them 8th.

That's the problem with looking at averages and rankings this early for teams. Some teams get to play teams like The 2023 Bengals that absolutely make them look amazing, and some teams haven't yet.
It's not just that they're all super amazing that the Bengals have played the 5th, 3rd, 15th, and 8th scoring defenses. It's also because the Bengals offense is just terrible, and when you only score 3 offensive TDs all season, opposing defenses are going to look real good because of it.
The pathetic Giants scored 31 against Arizona in week 2, following week Arizona held the Cowboys' offense to 16 points. Last week (week 4) the Niners put up 35 against them. There's some inconsistency for sure.
