LOL, you're attempting to equate letting a team drive deep into your territory to set up a game winning FG that was missed to forcing a team to punt as some sort of way to prove defensive effectiveness. Good God you can't be serious.
Are you at all familiar with the sport of football? Honest question.
I am familiar with the sport and understand every play is a scoring opportunity; are you not aware of this?
If (as folks want to play the if game) the Bengals had forced them into a punting situation (like they did on the opening drive) and Wash fakes it and picks up a first, then they go one to score, has the Defense done its job?
Good God I am serious, when a Defense holds a team to zero points in a sudden death situation; they have done their job. I have already admitted I am in the minority in this thread making that assertion. I suppose some consider giving up zero points not good enough.
