Their defense was 15th in total yards and 1st against the run, but sure you can have a dishonest premise using points against. Of course you should then understand that Winston is largely responsible for those points against throwing TDs for the other team and giving the opposing team great starting position.

Also
3rd in the league in points scored on offense
11th in sacks (47!) three more and they're top 5
17th interceptions
8th in fumbles lost

So, now we've got a bunch of statistics to help tell whatever version of the truth we want...

And they were the 30th ranked pass defense. Quick...name a TB defensive back.

24th ranked rushing defense too. 23rd ranked offensive line I think?

Can we name their LBs? Yes, mostly from LSU.

They do have a lot of LSU linebackers. Only one starts though. I think. Don’t quote me.

They were 1st against the run because they were so horrible against the pass (29th) that teams didn't attempt to run as much against them. 4th fewest rushing attempts against in the league.

15th in total yards... put whatever other spin you want on it.

That's not spin. It's pretty evident.
