Yes, their defense was legit, but still.
League's number 1 defense and number 1 rushing game.
After Chris Henry was injured (game 8) opposing defenses bracketed Chad and our passing game folded. Over the last 8 games the Bengals averaged 142.5 passing yards per game and had a 74.7 passer rating.
In game 9 we beat the Stealers without scoring an offensive TD. After that we finished 3-5 and never beat a team better than 5-11.
That team was nothing but smoke and mirrors going into the playoffs. Over our last five games (including the playoff) we were 1-4 and outscored 128 to 65. The only win was a struggle against 4-12 Kansas City at home. We had to score a TD with less than two minutes left to pull out the victory.
