And they also had a huge INT while down 12 which allowed the Bengals to pull within 5.

Week 1 they allowed 16 points and got 2 more turnovers on 4th down stops. What did the offense do with those 2 turnover on downs? Punt and punt.
The losing points from Week 1 was because of an offensive fumble that turned into a FG.

Is the defense this year GOOD? No. Is it "the worst in the league"? No. They have given the offense multiple opportunities and the offense hasn't capitalized. 4 turnovers in 2 games have turned into 7 points for the Bengals and 7 points for the opposing team (by turning it right back over). That's not good.
Tackling wasn't good in Week 2, but they went up against the best backfield in the NFL and the offense still had opportunities to win that they squandered.
The defense is terrible and I guarantee by the end of the season they will be in the top 3 for worst defense in the NFL.
Yes the offense is to blame as well...an offense with most likely the worst offensive line in the NFL and a rookie with no preseason snaps and a very limited camp with a play caller who more than likely be out of a job by the end of this season. A guy who has no business calling plays for an NFL offense let alone coaching an NFL team.
But despite all of this, Burrow is still 100% for marching his offense down the field late in games and putting his team in scoring position.
