CINCINNATI -- The Bengals have parted ways with longtime coach Marvin Lewis.
Lewis had one season remaining on a contract extension he signed last year. In a statement, the team said the decision was mutual.
The 60-year-old Lewis coached the Bengals for 16 seasons and had a 131-122-3 record with them. Although he leaves with the most wins in franchise history, his 0-7 record in the playoffs and 8-26 record against the Pittsburgh Steelers looms large over his tenure.
"I want to thank the Bengals' organization, the fans and the city of Cincinnati for their support," Lewis said in the statement.
