- 2nd toughest schedule in the NFL at the start of the season based off of strength of opponents 2014 standings.
- They have dominated the 1st (Seattle), 2nd (KC), 3rd (Buffalo), and freaking 4th (SD) ranked passing defenses from 2014. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/passing/position/defense/year/2014
- To those bitching about the Bengals pass D, just be sure to factor in their opponents are playing catch-up all game and have to throw it. Of course the passing numbers will be bigger.
Easy? Nobody should say the Bengals have had it easy. Part of the reason their opponents have a losing record is because they have played the Bengals. Which also drops their defensive rankings. Up through week 5 the Bengals were 20% of the opposing team's schedule.
Let the season play out before analyzing or wasting brain power on that kind of crap.
This. Didn't Seattle Start 3-3 last year before almost winning the SB? Way too early to determine SOS when the season isn't even halfway done yet.
