Is the Bengals’ Defense Facing an Unstoppable Collapse?
Let me tell you, the Bengals defense has taken a nosedive that’s hard to swallow — and it’s not just a little stumble. Last year’s unit already raised eyebrows and cost coordinator Lou Anarumo his job, but this season? The defense is flailing so badly it somehow makes last year’s squad look like the legendary ’85 Bears. I mean, we’re talking dead last in yards given up per game at 407.9 and points allowed at 31.6. Yikes. According to some nifty research from NBC Sports, Cincinnati’s given up 500+ yards twice already — a feat only rivaled by every other team combined. They went from a 9-8 near-miss of the playoffs in 2024 when they ranked 25th defensively, to now sitting at 3-5 after a promising 2-0 start. It’s tough to watch, and honestly… it leaves you wondering what’s next for this beleaguered defense.
Last year, the Bengals’ defense was bad enough to get coordinator Lou Anarumo fired. This year, the Bengals’ defense is making last year’s version look like the 1985 Bears.
As the Bengals prepared to host the 2025 Bears on Sunday, Cincinnati’s defense is the worst in the NFL. In both key categories: Yards allowed per game (407.9) and points allowed per game (31.6).
Via NBC Sports research, the Bengals have surrendered 500 or more yards twice this season. The NFL’s other 31 teams have done it twice, too. Collectively.
The 2024 Bengals, who just missed the playoffs at 9-8, were 25th in total defense. The Bengals, after starting 2-0, are now 3-5.
