American Football Conference · AFC North
The Cincinnati Bengals were founded in 1967 and play their home games at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. The franchise is owned by Mike Brown, with Duke Tobin serving as general manager and Zac Taylor as head coach. Dan Pitcher coordinates the offense while Al Golden leads the defense. The Bengals' recent history includes dramatic swings in fortune. After a dismal 2-14 campaign in 2019, the team climbed to a 10-7 record in 2021 and reached the Super Bowl. They followed that with a 12-4 season in 2022 and another playoff appearance. The 2023 and 2024 seasons each ended at 9-8, missing the postseason both years. The 2025 campaign brought a 6-11 finish, and the 2026 season currently sits at 2-2.
