After winning two straight, the Bengals faced the expansion Cleveland Browns in the final game at Riverfront Stadium. The Bengals would win the game 44–28Coach Bruce Coslet took running back Corey Dillon out of that game in the third quarter even though he was on pace to break the league's single-game rushing record of 275 yards, set by the late Walter Payton almost 22 years before. Asked why afterwards, Coslet reminded reporters that Payton had set that record in a 10–7 game.King Peter Peter King (sportswriter) Inside the NFL https://www.si.com/vault/2000/01/10/272121/inside-the-nfl Sports Illustrated January 10, 2000 June 17, 2019 before losing their final two games to finish with a 4–12 record.
