Other than the Saints, have they played a good offense all season? They played Pittsburgh when their OL was banged up and, other than that, I don't think they've faced an offense that was even NFL average.
So, yes, I'm calling fluke. Not fluke as in "no better than last season" but fluke in that the rankings more reflect how terrible the offenses they've faced have been as much as how much they've improved. Check back with me after they play the Falcons.
Plus, teams with good running games can keep their defense off the field which then inflates their defensive rankings.
