Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional football team based in Cincinnati. They are part of the American Football Conference (AFC), specifically the Northern Division of the conference.

The Cincinnati Bengals history started in 1968. Cincinnati Bengals became a team of the American Football League under the ownership of Paul Brown during the 1968 season. Brown was the legendary head coach of then Cleveland Browns, and he had led them to four championships. At first, the coach was not happy with the idea that his team was going to join the American Football League, since his primary intentions in creating a team was to join the more popular league of NFL. But he was persuaded to join the AFL with due consideration for the merger that was going to come about two years later.

Looking at the history of the Cincinnati Bengals, the team never had a Super Bowl ring. After almost 40 years in the league, the team only won the AFC conference twice. The two trips to the Super Bowl also resulted in losses. The Cincinnati Bengals NFL football team lost both their Super Bowl games to the 49ers during the seasons of 1981 and 1988. It may seem that the Cincinnati Bengals are continuously on a bad patch. However, the 2001 draft of Cincinnati Bengals Chad Johnson made everyone hopeful. In 2005, the team actually made it to the playoffs. Even though they lost, the win-loss record of the team since he joined is continuously above .500.
