Cincinnati Bengals Defense

✦ Blitz AI

Cincinnati's defense rates 25.8, placing it 24th among all DST units. The unit is getting dragged down by poor efficiency metrics: it ranks in the 12th percentile in yards allowed per game and 24th percentile in expected points allowed per play, meaning opposing offenses are moving the ball effectively and gaining value on their drives. The rating is anchored partially to the defense's 2025 season, which rated much lower at 19.4, so the current year's marginal improvement carries 40 percent of the weight in the final score. Takeaway rate and sacks per game sit around the median for the position, offering little relief from the defensive pressure problems underneath.
