CINCINNATI, Ohio \u2014 The Bengals<\/a> started the 2025 season with a 1-0 record after beating the Browns in Cleveland on Sunday, 17-16. <\/p>\n

Here is how the defense graded according to Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n

(PFF grades<\/a> every player on every play and uses a scale of 0-100, with higher grades indicating better play. PFF has explained its grades this way: 100-90 elite; 89-85 Pro Bowler; 84-70 starter; 69-60 backup; 59-0 replaceable. In other words, it\u2019s similar to how we would match up percentages with traditional letter grades in school.)<\/p>\n
