The Bengals, over the last five games, gave up 356.4 yards (would have been good for #19), 21.6 points (good for #11), 34.3% on third down (#5). Your first down stat is correct. The Bengals also gave up four fourth-down conversions on four fourth-down attempts.In the last 5 games
They weren’t a top 10 defense no matter how you slice it.
1.) They we're top 5 in 3rd down and first down defense.Per 16 game pace
2.) They we're .1 points away from a top 10 scoring Defense per 16 game pace
Even if it's not technically a top 10 pace it's a vast improvement over being dead last isn't it? I think if they perform at that pace next season then a lot of people will be impressed by their performance.
