And yes, Mahomes had a worse defense in 2018 and was (1) a coin toss and (2) Dee Ford being an absolute moron away from playing in the Super Bowl.

I haven’t looked into any advanced metrics, but I don’t think the 2018 Chiefs had one of the worst defenses of all time. IIRC, they were like top 3 in getting to the passer. At least they could do something well (until it really mattered in the AFCCG).
Looks like 2018 Chiefs D allowed 26.2 PPG on average to 26.9 for the 2024 Bengals.
