1993 Cincinnati Bengals season

1993 Cincinnati Bengals season
Head coach	Dave Shula
Home field	Riverfront Stadium
Results
Record	3–13
Division place	4th AFC Central
Playoff finish	did not qualify

The 1993 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 26th year in professional football and its 24th with the National Football League. The David Klingler experiment at starting Quarterback got off to a quick start, as the Bengals lost their first ten games for the second of three 0–8 starts in four seasons.

The Bengals would finally get their first win against the Los Angeles Raiders 16–10, at Riverfront Stadium, but were the last winless team for the first of two consecutive years – as of the 2012 season, an ignominy suffered by no franchise since.^[1] After dropping their next two games, the Bengals closed the season by winning twice before losing their closer to a disappointing Saints outfit to finish with their second 3–13 season in three years.^[2]

Awards and records

Against the New England Patriots in Week 15, the Bengals became the first NFL team since the Minnesota Vikings against the Detroit Lions in Week 14 of 1983, to score only a safety in a game. The next occurrence was in the opening week of the 2013 Jacksonville Jaguars season against the Chiefs.
