Also keep in mind who they played down the stretch - Chargers, Browns and Steelers were all pretty good offenses.
The Bengals held those teams to 26, 26 and 16 without the benefit of any legitimate offense with Driskel at the helm. If you don't think the defense played damn good under those conditions, then I don't know what to tell you.
The Bengals were good for #18 after Marvin took over. That is not top 10. Next you’re going to say that Marvin has to have time to make adjustments to try to remove the games that don’t fit your narrative when in reality you have no idea how long it took. You’re just going to latch onto the first game with Marvin as DC and say his adjustments were made then.
I never said the defense played bad. I said they improved after Marvin took over. I also said they were not a top 10 defense, and they weren’t.
