Bengals fall to last in NFL in overall defense, pass defense
By allowing 595 yards Sunday to the Saints, the Bengals defense has fallen to last --32 of 32 teams -- in overall defensive rank. The ranking is determined by yards allowed per game. The Bengals are allowing 377.7 yards a game.
The Bengals also are now last in pass defense at 254.4 yards per game. Drew Brees threw for 510 yards Sunday for the Saints.
The 595 yards allowed by the Bengals Sunday at New Orleans were the third most allowed by a Bengals team in franchise history. San Diego gained 661 in 1982, and Oakland had 604 in 1968.
The Bengals' opponent Sunday, the Browns, are ranked 31st in offense at 256.9 yards a game.
The stationary object against the invisible force.

Post a Comment*when is Fanene going to be activated? I'm thinking we could really use this guy's energy down the stretch...
I hope this response by the defense against New Orleans, as bad or worse than against San Diego, seals Bresnahan's fate. Better personnel arrive and Bresnahan has not incorporated them into an improving defense. The Bengals defense lives and dies by the turnover.
Before we ride Bresnahan out of here on a rail, I think it's be nice to actually have the starters play. The Bengals are missing ALL of their projected starting linebackers this year, not to mentione their secondary being dinged. This defense is predicated more on LB and secondary play, and the Bengals have had too many injuries (or suspensions) back there to get rid of Bresnahan for the defense's sorry play this year.
