It was the first year in which the Bengals made the playoffs for a second-consecutive season, and they would not do so again until 2012. The Bengals posted a 7–2 record in a strike-shortened season to earn a postseason berth but lost to the Jets in the first round of the playoffs, 44–17. This was the only playoff loss by the Bengals at Riverfront Stadium. Ken Anderson led the AFC in passing for the fourth time as the Bengals boasted the second-best offense in the NFL. Perhaps the best moment of the season for the Bengals was defeating the Raiders 31–17. The loss by the Raiders was their only loss of the season. The Bengals went 4–0 at home in 1982. The last remaining active member of the 1982 Cincinnati Bengals was tight end Rodney Holman, who retired after the 1995 season.
