Quick facts Cincinnati Bengals season, Head coach ...

The final season for Paul Brown as head coach, Cincinnati opened the season with six straight wins and went on to post an 11–3 record, their best regular-season mark. The Bengals qualified as the AFC wild card team for the playoffs, but lost to the Oakland, 31–28, in the divisional round of the playoffs. Ken Anderson won his second NFL passing championship. A serious blow was the loss of defensive tackle Mike Reid, who, only 27, retired in the off-season to pursue a career in music.

The team qualified for the postseason for the third time in just eight years of existence, but 1975 would be the last time that the Bengals would do so until 1981. Despite the Bengals' great record, they were only 3–3 in division play, losing twice to the eventual champion Steelers, and losing on the road to what was an 0–9 Cleveland Browns team. Other than division play, the Bengals were 8–0 against teams outside of the AFC Central division.
