The 2019 season was the Cincinnati Bengals' 50th in the National Football League (NFL), their 52nd overall, their 20th playing home games at Paul Brown Stadium and the first under head coach Zac Taylor.

With a Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Bengals secured the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, which was then used to select QB Joe Burrow.

This would end up being quarterback Andy Dalton's final season with the Bengals, as he was released shortly after the team drafted Burrow.

The Bengals retook the lead when John Ross III caught a 33-yard TD pass from Andy Dalton to make it 10–7.

Though, the Bengals moved back into the lead when Dalton found Ross III again on a 55-yard TD pass to make it 17–14 at halftime.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Seahawks retook the lead when Tyler Lockett caught a 44-yard TD pass from Wilson to make it 21–17.

The Bengals tied the game up at 7–7 when Andy Dalton found Tyler Eifert on a 1-yard TD pass.

Though, the Bengals would respond by taking the lead well into the fourth quarter to make it 17–14, the Bills scored a late TD when Frank Gore ran it from a yard out.

However, the Bengals were able to take the lead when Andy Dalton found Joe Mixon on a 2-yard TD pass.

In the fourth quarter, the Jaguars took the lead back when Keelan Cole caught a 2-yard TD pass from Gardner Minshew (with a successful 2-point conversion) to make it 17–10.

This would be followed by them sealing the game when Yannick Ngakoue returned an interception 23 yards for a TD followed by Lambo's 26-yard field goal to make it 24–10 and then 27–10.

The Rams retook the lead when Jared Goff found Josh Reynolds on a 31-yard TD pass to make it 10–3.

However, the Bengals would tie it up again when Andy Dalton found Joe Mixon on a 1-yard TD pass to make it 10–10.

Also during their bye week, the Bengals benched Dalton in favor of rookie fourth round draft pick Ryan Finley.

The Ravens made it 7–0 in the first quarter when Lamar Jackson found Mark Andrews on a 2-yard TD pass.

The Bengals then made it 28–10 at halftime when Ryan Finley found Tyler Boyd on a 6-yard TD pass.

This would be followed by him finding Marquise Brown on a 20-yard pass and then Tyus Bowser returned a fumble 33 yards to make the score 49–10.

Bullock added a useless field goal late in the fourth quarter to make the final score 49–13.

In the fourth quarter, the Raiders moved ahead by a touchdown when Daniel Carson kicked a 20-yard field goal to make it 17–10.

The Bengals, however, would take the lead later on when Ryan Finley found Tyler Boyd on a 15-yard TD pass to make it 7–3 at halftime.

In the fourth quarter, the Steelers retook the lead with 2 field goals kicked by Boswell: from 47 and 26 yards out to make it 13–10 and then 16–10.

After yet another loss (and going 0–3 under Ryan Finley) and looking like the third team in the NFL to go 0–16 after the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns, the Bengals stayed home for a game against the Jets.

The Bengals took the lead later on in the quarter when Andy Dalton found Tyler Boyd on a 17-yard TD pass to make it 7–3.

In the fourth quarter, the Browns pulled away by double digits when Seibert kicked another field goal from 31 yards out to make the score 27–16.

The Pats scored first in the first quarter when Tom Brady found James White on a 23-yard TD pass to make it 7–0.

In the second quarter, it was all Pats when Nick Folk kicked 2 field goals: from 40 and 46 yards out to make the score 10–10 and then give his team a 13–10 halftime lead.

The Bengals drew closer when Andy Dalton found Tyler Boyd on a 34-yard TD pass (with a failed two-point conversion) to make it 28–12.

After recovering the onside kick, the Bengals drove down the field to tie the game up at 35–35 after Dalton found Tyler Eifert on a 25-yard TD pass (with another successful two-point conversion) at the end of regulation.
