The 1972 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team’s fifth year in professional football and its third with the National Football League. Starting off the 1972 season winning 5 of 7 games this looked to be the Bengals break out year that was until the away game at Pittsburgh the Bengals suffered a devastating 40–17 loss then coupled with 2 fairly close loses at home against Oakland (20–14) and Baltimore 20–19 the 1971 season was in a tail spin.
