Woods rushed for 1,066 yards and 15 touchdowns in his rookie season, along with 228 yards and 3 touchdowns in the playoffs as the Bengals advanced to Super Bowl XXIII. His team lost the game 20-16, but he finished as the game's leading rusher with 79 yards. In 1989, Woods tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in the second game of the season, a 41-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
