- Tied franchise best with 12 regular season wins

- AFC North Champions for the third time since 2009

- Led AFC in feweest points allowed, which is also the franchise's best rank ever

-With 13.5 regular season sacks, Carlos Dunlap has the most single season sacks in team history. He now also has the 4th most sacks in Bengals history

-Bengals were one of two teams to have two players record 10 or more sacks this year (Dunlap with 13.5, Atkins with 10)

- Reggie Nelson tied for the NFL lead in interceptions. He also tied a franchise record for having a 5 game streak with an interception

- Andy Dalton led the AFC in passer rating (106.3). His 106.3 rating is a now a Bengals record, passing the 101.1 passer rating set by Carson Palmer is 2005.

- Andy Dalton and Peyton Manning are the only quarterbacks to have thrown for 3,000 or more yards in each of their first 5 seasons. Dalton now ranks 4th all time in Bengals history for passing yards and passing touchdowns.

- Andy Dalton now has the highest QB rating in Bengals history as a QB that started more than 12 games.

- AJ Green and Randy Moss are the only two wide receivers to have eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in each of their first 5 seasons. Green is now 5th all time in Bengals receiving yards.

- The Bengals finished 6-2 on the road this season, tying the best road winning percentage in team history.

- The Bengals stand as the only team in the 45 year history of the AFC Central/North divisions to start a season 8-0.

Many people just seem to care about playoffs...well the reality is that 2015 was also the closest the Bengals have come to winning a playoff game, so that also should further support that the Bengals have had the best season since 1990.
