Professional American football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio



The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are a member of the AFC North division in the National Football League (NFL). The team was established in 1968 as a member of the American Football League (AFL) before the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. The Bengals have made three appearances in the Super Bowl, but have yet to secure a championship.

History

The Cincinnati Bengals were founded in 1968 by former Cleveland Browns head coach Paul Brown. The team joined the AFL as an expansion team and became part of the NFL when the two leagues merged in 1970. The Bengals' early years were marked by moderate success, including a playoff appearance in their third season.

1970s and 1980s

The Bengals experienced their first major success in the 1981 season, reaching Super Bowl XVI under the leadership of head coach Forrest Gregg and quarterback Ken Anderson. They returned to the Super Bowl in the 1988 season, led by head coach Sam Wyche and quarterback Boomer Esiason, but were defeated in Super Bowl XXIII by the San Francisco 49ers.

1990s and 2000s

The 1990s were a challenging period for the Bengals, marked by numerous losing seasons. The team struggled to find consistent success until the arrival of head coach Marvin Lewis in 2003. Under Lewis, the Bengals made several playoff appearances, including a division title in 2005.

2010s to Present

The Bengals continued to build on their success in the 2010s, with multiple playoff appearances. In 2021, under head coach Zac Taylor, the Bengals reached Super Bowl LVI, but were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams.

The Bengals play their home games at Paycor Stadium, located in downtown Cincinnati. The stadium, originally named Paul Brown Stadium, opened in 2000 and has a seating capacity of approximately 65,515.
