2024 Cincinnati Bengals season

The 2024 season was the Cincinnati Bengals' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 57th overall, their 25th playing their home games at Paycor Stadium and their sixth under head coach Zac Taylor. They matched their 9–8 record from last year after a Week 18 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year.

Despite a 4–8 start, their worst since 2020, the Bengals rallied to win their final five games and remain in playoff contention late in the season. However, they were eliminated when the Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. The season was largely defined by stellar offensive play along with poor defensive play. On the offensive side of the ball, Joe Burrow led the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns and was responsible for the Bengals having the best passing offense. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase led all other receivers in receiving yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns, becoming the 7th wide receiver to win the triple crown in the Super Bowl era. On the defensive side, the Bengals, despite having the league's sack leader Trey Hendrickson, had the 7th-worst scoring defense, allowing 30 or more points in six of their games, and were 4–7 in one-score games. They also set an NFL record for most losses while still scoring 30 or more points in a single game, with four. This included two late double-digit comebacks by their divisional rival, the Baltimore Ravens, in both games played. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo was let go by the team following the end of the season.
