Based in Cincinnati, Ohio -- the Bengals is a professional football team which joined the NFL back in 1970 under the AFL-NFL merger as per the 1966 agreement. Their 2008 season seems to be one of the most challenging yet as the team gets ready to face the ravens in week 1, the Titans in week 2, the Giants in week 3. The Cincinnati Bengals are members of the AFC North Division, from 2002 until today that is!, throughout most of their history they have been part of the AFC Central division.

Championships and Important Moments:

Even though the Bengals have not won a league championship they have won two conference championships in the past in the American football conference, the first one was in 1981 and the second one in 1988. When it comes to division championships they have had a fair share of the action, they won the AFC Central division championship in five different years, the first one was in 1970, the next one in 1973, 1981, 1988 and 1990. When it comes to the AFC North division championship they have won once in 2005.

One of the funniest moments for this team happened during the 1988 season when ...
... Ickey Woods created the "Ickey shuffle" which was basically an excess of celebratory dance performed after the player Woods had scored a touchdown, the NFL quickly moved against this type was celebration and created penalties against the teams which would follow his footsteps, for those of you who didn't follow the NFL in 1988 can think of this celebration as Peter Griffin's "Shipoopi dance"

Quarterbacks in the Current Roster:

-- Ryan Fitzpatrick
-- Carson Palmer
-- Jordan Palmer
-- Jeff Rowe

Cincinnati Bengals Recent News:

The overall defense of the Cincinnati Bengals can be expected to improve quite dramatically as Mike Zimmer installs the new defense with simple rules as well as old school principles which worked very well for the Dallas Cowboys in 2001 as they came back to the fourth-place compared to where they where back in 2000.

According to Mike Myers (a player who was on Zimmer's first two defenses in Dallas) the team will be much better under his guidance -- referring to Zimmer -- and this year will definitely climb to the top from the 27th ranking, Bengals fans can definitely expect to see a highly improved team which is why tickets for their games are expected to sell very fast.
