Once Marvin took over the defense, Cincinnati averaged giving up 361 yards (would’ve been good for the 22nd defense) and 23.8 points per game (would’ve been good for 18th). This included a game against the Browns where Baker and company put up 493 yards on Cincinnati in week 16.Outside of the Browns game you mentioned in the last 4 games of the year Denver, LA, Raiders, and Pittsburgh the Defense gave up 322.25 yards, 20.5 points per game, and 32.7% on third down Defense.
They are a clear weakness on the team, there is no way around that unless players make insane jumps in ability/Lou is a defensive god.
