The 1989 Cincinnati Bengals season was their 20th in the National Football League (NFL) and 22nd overall.
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.
