Bengals records with the potential to be broken in 2018

While the Bengals’ roster is young, there are quite a few impressive veterans leading the charge in Cincinnati like quarterback Andy Dalton, wide receiver A.J. Green and defensive linemen Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins. All four of those players have the potential to change the Bengals’ record books this season. Dalton and Green could do it in Week 2 against the Ravens at Paul Brown Stadium.

*The NFL has counted sacks as official statistics since 1982. However, the Bengals have sack statistics compiled since 1976 and recognize those sacks recorded from ’76-81 in its records. Thus, please note that, because the NFL has sacks statistics for all teams only since 1982, the Bengals’ sack statistics for players whose careers included seasons prior to ’82 will not be included in league information.
