CINCINNATI (AP) -The Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed Mike Zimmer as defensive coordinator after two years of improvement under his guidance.
The team, which ranked 27th in the 2007 NFL yardage rankings, rose to fourth in Zimmer’s second year as the Bengals won the AFC North Division. The defense gave up 301.4 yards a game and finished sixth in scoring defense at 18.4 points.
Coach Marvin Lewis said in statement Tuesday that Zimmer’s signing helps provide continuity. Contract terms weren’t announced.
The 2010 season will be Zimmer’s 11th as an NFL defensive coordinator. He has coached for Dallas and Atlanta.
