- Week 12 (vs. Pittsburgh); Mixon commandeered the Bengals' biggest victory over the Steelers in 32 years, 41-10 at Paul Brown Stadium, with a career-best 165 yards on 28 carries, to go with two touchdowns.
- Week 16 (vs. Baltimore); Burrow's team-record 525 yards is the fourth biggest passing day in NFL history and the biggest in Bengals history and crushed the Ravens again at PBS, 41-21.
- Week 17 (vs. Kansas City); Chase racked up 11 catches for 266 yards and three touchdowns as the Bengals clinched the AFC North in a 34-31 last-snap victory over the Chiefs at PBS. The Bengals had the ball for the final six minutes on a drive Chase kept alive with a 30-yard catch on third-and-27 to highlight a game he set the NFL rookie record for yards in a game and season.
AFC Special Teams Player of the Week: K Evan McPherson (2)
- Week 1 (vs. Minnesota); McPherson drilled his first two NFL field-goal tries, a 53-yarder in the third quarter and a 33-yarder in OT to give the Bengals a 27-24 Opening Day win.
- Week 11 (at Las Vegas); the 5-4 Bengals came out of the bye week to beat the 5-4 Raiders, 32-13, when McPherson gave them a 16-6 lead early in the fourth quarter with his NFL record-tying third field goal of at least 50 yards in the same game.

- Week 6 (at Detroit); four catches of 97 yards with a 53-yarder, but his big play in the 34-11 win over the Lions was his shove of Lions safety Will Harris at the Detroit 5 to secure running back Joe Mixon's 40-yartd touchdown on fourth-and-one to make it 17-0.
- Week 7 (at Baltimore): eight catches for 201 yards in the Bengals' calling-card 41-17 win over the Ravens, the 11th time in NFL history an NFL rookie went for more than 200 yards and the first time for a Bengal. His 754 yards in his first seven NFL games is now the NFL record.
