The 1999 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 32nd year in professional football and its 30th with the National Football League (NFL). In what would be the final season of pro football being played at Riverfront Stadium, then known as Cinergy Field, the Bengals struggled out of the gates again losing 10 of their first 11 games. After winning two straight, the Bengals faced the expansion Cleveland Browns in the final game at Riverfront Stadium. The Bengals would win the game 44–28 before losing their final two games to finish with a 4–12 record. The Bengals failed to beat a single team who had a winning record for the second consecutive season.
