Great defensive stat

[*pally*]

Lamar Jackson was pressured by the Bengals on 19-of-42 dropbacks (45%), including 5 sacks.

That's the 3rd-highest pressure rate he has faced as a starter in his career.

The defense is really amazing this year, and I'll catch heat for this but honestly I think the defense is the biggest reason the team is where it is. Not trying to rain on the parade of anyone around here but even in the Bears game where Burrow struggled, the defense kept the team in it all game long.

What's crazy is that they are doing this while missing one of their high priced FA signings at CB.

And if that dude was pressured, think what that would be for a statuesque QB.

Brady would have been undersiege every snap then??

And the Bengals would have been flagged 75% of the time....

It's so nice to have a defense that doesn't well suck.

Best defense in a long while, which is interesting since when we had the "defensive" head coach it seemed like the defense was the issue at times, and now with our "offensive" head coach the defensive looks great.

Really like to see what they would do against Tennesse's rushing attack and Buffalo's just overall attack. Would be fun match-ups.
