1995 Cincinnati Bengals season

NFL team season December 2013 March 2026 Cincinnati Bengals 1995 7–9 2nd AFC Central Dave Shula Riverfront Stadium Did not qualify QB Jeff BlakeWR Carl Pickens Bengals seasons The 1995 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 28th year in professional football and its 26th with the National Football League. With Jeff Blake firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback, the Bengals won their first two games. However, the Bengals would lose their next two, heading into a rematch with Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins, in which the Bengals also lost, 26–23. The Bengals went on to play fairly well the rest of the season, but could not avoid their fifth straight losing season, ending with a 7–9 win–loss record. One of the season's biggest disappointments was running back Ki-Jana Carter who the Bengals took with first overall pick out of Penn State. Carter would suffer a knee injury in his first preseason game, forcing him to miss his entire rookie season. He would never fully recover, in an injury plagued career.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 1995 NFL draft 1995 Cincinnati Bengals 1 1 Ki-Jana Carter Running back Penn State yes 3 69 Melvin Tuten Offensive tackle Syracuse yes 4 102 Sam Shade Defensive back Alabama yes 5 139 David Dunn Wide receiver Fresno State yes 6 175 Ryan Grigson Offensive tackle Purdue 7 213 John Walsh Quarterback BYU no no https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cin/1995_draft.htm 1995 Cincinnati Bengals Draftees Pro-Football-Reference.com January 28, 2014 Personnel Staff 1995 Cincinnati Bengals President – Mike Brown Head Coach – Dave Shula Offensive Coordinator – Bruce Coslet Quarterbacks – Ken Anderson Running Backs – Jim Anderson Tight Ends – Gary Moeller Offensive Line – Paul Alexander Offensive Assistant/Wide Receivers – John Garrett Defensive Coordinator – Larry Peccatiello Defensive Line – Bobby DePaul Linebackers – Joe Pascale Defensive Backs – Ron Meeks Defensive Assistant – Tim Krumrie Special Teams – Joe Wessel Strength and Conditioning – Kim Wood Roster 1995 Cincinnati Bengals  8 Jeff Blake  7 David Klingler 10 John Walsh American football y 21 Eric Bieniemy KR/PR 38 Jason Burns American football y 46 Jeff Cothran FB 28 Harold Green American football 36 James Joseph American football 18 Thomas Bailey American football y 80 David Dunn American football y KR 84 Jeff Hill KR 81 Carl Pickens 16 David Rhodes wide receiver y 86 Darnay Scott 82 Tony McGee tight end 87 Troy Sadowski 88 Derek Ware American football 65 Darrick Brilz C 75 Anthony Brown offensive lineman y G 72 Scott Brumfield G 71 Ray Forsythe G 66 Dan Jones American football G/C 62 Todd Kalis G 76 Trent Pollard G 77 Kevin Sargent American football T 61 Melvin Tuten y G/T 63 Joe Walter American football T 92 John Copeland DE 98 Todd Kelly American football DE 96 Alfred Oglesby DT 95 Keith Rucker DT 70 Artie Smith DE 79 Ramondo Stallings DT/DE 67 Kimo von Oelhoffen DT 99 Dan Wilkinson DT 55 Andre Collins OLB 57 Kevin Jefferson MLB 56 Ricardo McDonald OLB 52 Randy Neal y OLB 51 Steve Tovar MLB 91 Brett Wallerstedt MLB 45 Adrian Hardy CB 25 Rod Jones cornerback CB 24 Roger Jones American football CB 23 Corey Sawyer CB PR 35 Sam Shade y SS 30 Chris Shelling y CB 27 Bracy Walker SS 37 Leonard Wheeler CB/FS 31 Darryl Williams safety FS 11 Lee Johnson punter P  9 Doug Pelfrey K 59 Greg Truitt LS 74 Rich Braham G/C IR 43 Mike Brim CB IR 32 Ki-Jana Carter y RB IR 90 Gerald Collins American football y LB IR 50 James Francis American football LB IR 64 Bruce Kozerski G IR 85 Tim McGee WR IR 53 active, 7 inactive none https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cin/1995_roster.htm 1995 Cincinnati Bengals starters, roster, and players Pro-Football-Reference.com October 17, 2014 Regular season Schedule Week Date Opponent Result Record Venue Attendance 1 September 3, 1995 at Indianapolis Colts W 24–21 (OT) 1–0 RCA Dome 42,445 2 September 10, 1995 Jacksonville Jaguars W 24–17 2–0 Riverfront Stadium 48,318 3 September 17, 1995 at Seattle Seahawks L 21–24 2–1 Kingdome 39,492 4 September 24, 1995 Houston Oilers L 28–38 2–2 Riverfront Stadium 46,332 5 October 1, 1995 Miami Dolphins L 23–26 2–3 Riverfront Stadium 52,671 6 October 8, 1995 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers L 16–19 2–4 Tampa Stadium 41,732 7 Bye 8 October 19, 1995 at Pittsburgh Steelers W 27–9 3–4 Three Rivers Stadium 56,684 9 October 29, 1995 Cleveland Browns L 26–29 (OT) 3–5 Riverfront Stadium 58,639 10 November 5, 1995 Oakland Raiders L 17–20 3–6 Riverfront Stadium 51,265 11 November 12, 1995 at Houston Oilers W 32–25 4–6 Houston Astrodome 32,998 12 November 19, 1995 Pittsburgh Steelers L 31–49 4–7 Riverfront Stadium 54,636 13 November 26, 1995 at Jacksonville Jaguars W 17–13 5–7 Jacksonville Municipal Stadium 68,249 14 December 3, 1995 at Green Bay Packers L 10–24 5–8 Lambeau Field 60,318 15 December 10, 1995 Chicago Bears W 16–10 6–8 Riverfront Stadium 38,642 16 December 17, 1995 at Cleveland Browns L 10–26 6–9 Cleveland Municipal Stadium 55,875 17 December 24, 1995 Minnesota Vikings W 27–24 7–9 Riverfront Stadium 34,568 Season summary Week 2: vs Jacksonville Jaguars Cincinnati Bengals 1995 2; text-align:center collapsed Week Two: Cincinnati Bengals vs Jacksonville Jaguars September 10, 1995 1:00 p.m. EST Jaguars 7 0 3 7 Bengals 3 7 7 7 Riverfront Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio 48,318 Overcast, 67 F C NBC Don Criqui and Beasley Reece Recap First quarter CIN – Doug Pelfrey 27-yard field goal, 9:51.
