Here is an article on the 6 undefeated teams and where they rank using DVOA.

Like any other NFL rating system take from it what you want.
The Bengals defense has been solid, and probably a little better than the official yardage rankings say.
With that said, the missed tackles and LB coverage issues just can't be ignored. Those problems are very real and are just asking to be exploited by an offense that can put the right personnel on the field to do so.
