My stat of the day: Defensive Guru?

The Bengals have played 67 games in the Marvin Lewis era....they have allowed more than 30 points in 16 of 67 games (24%) and are 3-13:

51 Cleveland (L), 49 SD (L), 48 Cleveland (W), 45 Indy (L), 38 New England (L), 38 SF (W), 37 Buffalo (L), 37 KC (L), 35 New England (L), 34 Indy (L), 34 Cleveland (L), 31 Pittsburgh (L), 31 Pittsburgh (W), 31 Baltimore (L), 31 Jets (L), 31 Baltimore (L)

For perspective:

Games allowing more than 30 points over last 67 games:

AFC North/Random teams

Texans 18 (Only one I have found so far with more than Bengals)

Bengals 16

Browns 15

Steelers 9

Ravens 6

*In the 67 games, prior to Marvin (Coslet/LeBeau), the Bengals allowed more than 30 points in 17 of 67 games.

*In the 67 games prior to that (Shula/Coslet), the Bengals allowed more than 30 points in 15 of 67 games.

Wow, this is surprising!

Not really. Except for 2001, this defense has sucked since Boomer got traded to the Jets....
