The Cincinnati Bengals concluded the 2024 NFL season with a 9-8 record, narrowly missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The season began with a disappointing 0-3 start, including a historic "no punt game" against the Washington Commanders in Week 3. However, the team showcased resilience, rallying from a 4-8 record to win their final five games, keeping their postseason hopes alive until the final week. Quarterback Joe Burrow delivered an exceptional performance, leading the NFL with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, earning him the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award for the second time in his career. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase achieved the receiving "Triple Crown," leading the league in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, while defensive end Trey Hendrickson topped the NFL with 17 sacks. Despite these individual accolades, the Bengals' defense struggled, particularly in high-scoring games, contributing to their inability to secure a playoff berth. The offseason presents critical decisions, including contract negotiations with key players like Chase and Hendrickson, as the team aims to build on their late-season momentum for a more successful 2025 campaign.β #Bengals #CincinnatiBengals #NFL2024 #SeasonRecap #JoeBurrow #JaMarrChase #TreyHendrickson #WhoDey #NFL #Football
