The Bengals joined the American Football League (AFL) as an expansion team in 1968Paul Brown, who had become one of the most respected coaches in the game at the helm of the Cleveland Browns, was one of the franchise’s founders and its first head coach. Cincinnati was a member of the AFL for just two seasons before the league merged with the NFL in 1970. The Bengals’ maiden year in the NFL saw the team post its first winning record and earn a playoff spot as the AFC Central champion.

That same year, the team began to play in Riverfront Stadium, a multipurpose venue they would share with baseball’s Cincinnati Reds for the following 30 years. The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the San Diego Chargers, 27-7in the 1981 AFC Championship, which was the coldest game in NFL history in terms of wind chill at -37 degrees. 

Cincinnati Bengals Achievements

The Cincinnati Bengals have played in three Super Bowls- 1982, 1989, and 2022.

The Bengals made two more playoff appearances in the 1970s, but they failed to win their first contest on each occasion.

Cincinnati broke out of its 14-year postseason drought in 2005 as a team featuring quarterback Carson Palmer and wide receiver Chad Johnson won a divisional title before losing to the eventual champion Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs. The Bengals captured a division championship in 2009 and qualified for the playoffs for five straight years, a first in franchise history, from 2011 to 2015, but the team lost its opening game in each postseason, extending the NFL’s longest active streak without a playoff victory.
