1994 Cincinnati Bengals season

NFL team season December 2013 March 2026 Cincinnati Bengals 1994 3–13 3rd AFC Central Dave Shula Riverfront Stadium Did not qualify None Bengals seasons The 1994 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 27th year in professional football and its 25th with the National Football League. On October 2 history was made at Riverfront Stadium, when Dave Shula and the Bengals faced father Don Shula's Miami Dolphins in the first father-son coaching match up in NFL history. The elder Shula would emerge victorious 23–7, as the Bengals were in the midst of a 0–8 start for the third time in four years. The Bengals equaled their 3-13 record from 1993 and again missed out on a playoff berth. During the season, the Bengals decided to move on from the struggling David Klingler, who had not lived up to his potential as the team's quarterback of the future despite being a high draft pick. After seven weeks without a win, Klingler was pulled in favor of off-season acquisition Jeff Blake, who nearly upset the defending world champion Dallas Cowboys in his first start.http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/cincy/bengals.html Season summary and statistics at Sports E Cylclopedia April 10, 2012 May 27, 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080527121139/http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/cincy/bengals.html dead Offseason NFL draft 1994 NFL draft 1994 Cincinnati Bengals 1 1 Dan Wilkinson Defensive tackle Ohio State yes 2 30 Darnay Scott Wide receiver San Diego State yes 3 66 Jeff Cothran Fullback Ohio State yes 3 86 Steve Shine Linebacker Northwestern 4 104 Corey Sawyer Cornerback Florida State yes 5 132 Trent Pollard Offensive tackle Eastern Washington yes 6 162 Kimo von Oelhoffen Defensive tackle Boise State yes 6 184 Jerry Reynolds Offensive tackle UNLV 7 195 Ramondo Stallings Defensive end San Diego State yes no no https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cin/1994_draft.htm 1994 Cincinnati Bengals Draftees Pro-Football-Reference.com January 28, 2014 Undrafted free agents + 1994 undrafted free agents of notePlayerPositionCollegeJim BallardQuarterbackMount UnionJeff HillWide receiverPurdue Personnel Staff 1994 Cincinnati Bengals President – Mike Brown Head coach – Dave Shula Offensive coordinator – Bruce Coslet Quarterbacks – Ken Anderson Running Backs – Jim Anderson Wide receivers – Richard Williamson Tight ends – Paul Alexander Offensive line – Jim McNally Defensive coordinator – Larry Peccatiello Defensive line – Joe Wessel Linebackers – Joe Pascale Defensive backs – Ron Meeks Defensive Staff Assistant – Bobby DePaul Special teams – Marv Braden Strength – Kim Wood Roster 1994 Cincinnati Bengals 13 Jim Ballard y  8 Jeff Blake  7 David Klingler  4 Erik Wilhelm 42 Eric Ball American football KR 46 Jeff Cothran y FB 44 Derrick Fenner FB 28 Harold Green American football 19 Jeff Hill y KR 85 Tim McGee 80 Carl Pickens PR 89 Jeff Query 86 Darnay Scott y KR 83 David Frisch American football 82 Tony McGee tight end 87 Troy Sadowski 88 Derek Ware American football 74 Rich Braham y T 65 Darrick Brilz C 72 Scott Brumfield G 68 Dave Cadigan G 66 Dan Jones American football T 64 Bruce Kozerski G/T 73 Ken Moyer G/C 76 Trent Pollard y G 77 Kevin Sargent American football T 92 John Copeland DE 69 Tim Krumrie DT 93 Ty Parten DE 95 Keith Rucker DT 70 Artie Smith DE 79 Ramondo Stallings y DE 67 Kimo von Oelhoffen y DT 99 Dan Wilkinson y DT 94 Alfred Williams DE 50 James Francis American football OLB 96 Lamont Hollinquest OLB 57 Kevin Jefferson y OLB 56 Ricardo McDonald OLB 53 Santo Stephens OLB 51 Steve Tovar MLB 91 Brett Wallerstedt MLB 43 Mike Brim CB 45 Adrian Hardy CB 25 Rod Jones cornerback CB 24 Roger Jones American football CB 23 Corey Sawyer y CB/PR 34 Fernandus Vinson SS 27 Bracy Walker y FS 31 Darryl Williams safety FS 11 Lee Johnson punter P  9 Doug Pelfrey K 59 Greg Truitt y LS 58 David Braxton LB IR 33 Steve Broussard RB IR 12 Donald Hollas QB IR 60 Eric Moore offensive lineman G IR 29 Louis Oliver S IR 52 Steve Shine y LB IR 63 Joe Walter American football T IR 37 Leonard Wheeler CB IR 53 active, 8 inactive none https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cin/1994_roster.htm 1994 Cincinnati Bengals starters, roster, and players Pro-Football-Reference.com October 17, 2014 Regular season October 2, 1994: Dubbed the “Shula Bowl”, it marked the first time in NFL history that a head coaching matchup featured father against son.
