Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Cincinnati Bengals are members of the National Football League’s North Division of the American Football Conference. First established in 1968, the Bengals began as members of the NFL’s rival league, the American Football League. They joined the NFL after the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Owner and founder Paul Brown also acted as coach for the team’s first eight years; even after his coaching years, he would continue to oversee operations until his death.

It was in 1970 that the Bengals made their first postseason appearance; in fact, the Cincinnati team would go on to make three appearances in the playoffs that decade, but would not clinch a Super Bowl title.

In the 1980s, the Bengals would find themselves in the Super Bowl twice, but both times were defeated by the San Francisco 49ers.

In 1990, Brown died. His death signaled a new era for the Bengals, one that would drag the team into a slump for over a decade. The Bengals would not see another winning season for 14 years. It wasn’t until 2003, with the hiring of Marvin Lewis as head coach and the signing of future star quarterback, Carson Palmer, that the team would claw its way back to respectability.

In his first two seasons, Lewis brought the team from a 2-14 record to an even 8-8. In 2005, he brought the team its first winning season since 1991-92, with an 11-5 record. In 2006, the Bengals would host their first playoff game in franchise history, at Paul Brown Stadium, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

However, the respite was only a brief one. In 2007, the Bengals dropped to a 7-9 regular season, and in 2008, fell even more, to 4-11, with one tie. As a result, the Bengals underwent a major overhaul for the 2009 season, selecting a series of players from the 2009 NFL Draft that might compensate for a lackluster past year.
