The 1992 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 25th year in professional football and its 23rd with the National Football League. The Bengals finished the 1992 season with 5 wins and 11 losses, and did not qualify for the playoffs. The Bengals, who were now owned by Mike Brown, the son of legendary coach Paul Brown, now turned to the son of another legendary coach to lead the team on the field when he hired assistant Dave Shula to assume the head coaching reins. The Bengals also raised some eyebrows when the selected University of Houston quarterback Dave Klinger in he first round of the 1992 NFL Draft. The younger Shula got off to a good start as the Bengals won their first game. However, the joy was short lived as the team lost its next six games, on the way to a 5 win season. The lone bright spot of the season is WR Carl Pickens, who earns Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Following the season perennial ALL-Pro Offensive Tackle Anthony Muñoz would retire, as the Bengals moved in a new direction by trading quarterback Boomer Esaison to the New York Jets.[1]
