Cincinnati Bengals Team History
The Cincinnati Bengals were founded by legendary head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Paul Brown, and played their first season in 1968. The Bengals got their name from Brown's coaching past, as tiger mascots had been a common thread throughout his career. The Bengals have won 11 AFC North Championship titles and three AFC Championship titles. They won their first division title as part of the AFC Central in 1970, becoming the first expansion team to win a championship in its first three years.
The Bengals first advanced to the Super Bowl during the 1981 and 1988 seasons, and then again in 2022 for Super Bowl LVI. Since 2005, the team has advanced to the playoffs nine times, including two AFC North Division titles.

As a long time Denver fan living in the cincinnati area, I have not had to many chances to watch them play. Well Sep. 13 I got my chance to see Denver play in a opener. It was super easy getting the tickets, and we found great parking. Even though the seats were about as far back as you could get. I still had a great view of Denver winning.
Great aisle seats in section 201. Received in a timely manner. Too bad the Bengals gave up the miracle deflection at the end. All comes with being a Bengal fan I guess.
What a game!!! I have never seen any better. The Bengals were awesome and the Broncos were awesome. I am so glad I am a Bronco fan. I could feel the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. I had never experienced that.
I have been going to Bengals games every year for the past 20 years and have only been to one winning game. (Suprizing being a Bengal fan!!) Ticket prices are way too high for the record the Bengals put up each year. AND $7.50 A BEER IS OUTRAGEOUS!! I say I won't go back but when next year comes I can't help but to be hopeful....or just plain stupid....and I will probably go again.
What an exciting game from start to end! Always play till the whistle blows! Not fond of the ticket prices at the Paul Brown Stadium but the game was awesome. Bengal offensive coaching needs to be evaluated.
This was a great opening season game. The Bengal's defense was great. The last TD by Denver in the final seconds was a one-in-a million.
Great game and super easy to pick tickets up at Will Call!!
Had a great time at the game! Paul Brown stadium is really nice, however unless you had special parking passes you couldn't park anywhere close to the stadium. We had to walk about 10 blocks and paid $20.00 to park.
We had a great time. My first NFL game, we had a Spanish Exchange student we us who loved the game also. My son who doesn't like football, loved this game and really got into it.
