National Football League (NFL) and 22nd overall. The Bengals' 404 points scored were the fourth-most in the NFL in 1989. Four of their eight losses on the season were by a touchdown or less.
The 1989 Bengals are the most recent NFL team to score 55 points or more twice in a single season:[1] Week 8 against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (56) and Week 15 against the arch-rival
Houston Oilers (61), both
at home. Despite this, the Bengals finished the season 4th in their division and failed to earn a playoff berth, making them the only team in the AFC Central to do so.
