BENGALS 1996 SUMMARY |
| On March 19, Hamilton County voters approved a half-cent sales tax increase to fund two new stadiums, taking a major step to ensure the Bengals' future in Cincinnati. The team lost six of its first seven games, but Cincinnati's fortunes took a U-turn after offensive coordinator Bruce Coslet was promoted to head coach Oct. 21, replacing Dave Shula. Coslet directed the team to a 7-2 finish, including a 5-0 mark at Cinergy Field, and the final 8-8 record was Cincinnati's first .500-or-better season since 1990. The defense set a team record with 34 interceptions, and CB Ashley Ambrose was named a Pro Bowl starter along with WR Carl Pickens, who caught 100 passes to break his own team reception record. |
