The 2011 Cincinnati Bengals enjoyed a resurgent season, finishing with a 9-7 record and securing a wild-card playoff berth. Led by the impressive rookie duo of quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green, both of whom earned Pro Bowl selections, the team demonstrated great resilience and laid the foundation for a period of sustained success. A second-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and a three-time Pro Bowler, Andy Dalton is the Cincinnati Bengals' franchise leader in career passing touchdowns and completions who led the team to five consecutive playoff appearances during his nine seasons in Cincinnati.
