Cincinnati Bengals Tickets
The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Currently, they are members of the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). In 1968, they played their first season as an American Football League franchise but they joined the NFL as part of the 1970 AFL-NFL Merger, which had actually been agreed to in 1966.
Franchise history:
In 1967, led by Paul Brown, a Cincinnati-based ownership group was granted a franchise in the American Football League. Brown had an outstanding career as the founder and head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1946 to 1962. He successfully led his team to a .759 winning percentage and seven championships, which includes four championships earned while a member of the All-America Football Conference. Brown earned the reputation as a recognized innovator for his approach to training, game planning, and the passing game. However, majority interest in the team was sold to businessman Art Modell by Brown in 1961. Modell fired Brown on January 9, 1963.
During the 1980s, the Bengals were successful in reaching the Super Bowl twice. But they lost to the San Francisco 49ers on both occasions. Paul Brown died soon after appearing in the playoffs in 1990. He had already transferred control to his son, Mike Brown. Shortly after his passing, the Bengals' fortunes changed for the worse as the team would post 14 consecutive non-winning seasons.
In 2003, Under head coach Marvin Lewis, the Bengals began to emerge from that dismal period into a new era of increased consistency. Carson Palmer, the future star quarterback, was drafted in 2003. As Jon Kitna had a comeback year, Carson could not not play a snap that whole season.Despite Kitna's success, Carson was promoted to starting quarterback the following season. Under Carson, the team successfully advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 1990.
Meanwhile, Paul Brown Stadium was built for the 2000 season. There were financial contributions from both private and public sector. It was a trend of renaming the stadiums for the company names in the NFL and other sports teams around that time.But in tribute to his father, Mike Brown refused corporate offers to have the stadium renamed for their company.
Contributions to NFL Culture:
The Ickey Shuffle
The "Ickey Shuffle", is a celebratory dance created by Bengals running back Ickey Woods in his rookie season of 1988 during the Bengals' Super Bowl run. It is the most commonly recognized contribution of the team.
No Huddle Offense
All teams commonly used a No-Huddle Offense when time in the game was running low. However, the high-paced offense was made the standard modality for the ball club regardless of time remaining by
Sam Wyche, the head coach of the Bengals in 1988, along with offensive coordinator Bruce Coslet.
West Coast Offense/Paul Brown's Offense
The West Coast Offense, is the popular name for the high-percentage passing scheme designed by Paul Brown and Bill Walsh. It is commonly employed by many teams. During the Bengals' initial Super Bowl run, Ken Anderson used this play scheme.
Paul Brown Stadium
Mike Brown, the current owner of the Cincinnati Bengals, named the new stadium after his NFL Hall of Fame father, Paul Brown. He successfully resisted offers to sell the naming rights for the stadium
2006-07 season
Marvin and his staff developed a theme to rally around like the previous years. This time it was The Pyramid (a listing of qualities developed by the successful former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden).Very few free-agent acquisitions were made by the Bengals during the offseason. Also a large number of drafted players (or new ones to the team) were not positioned as starters which is considered a sign of an established team instead of one in the midst of rebuilding.
Two more games against Baltimore and Oakland were won by the Bengals before the win streak ended with a loss to Indianapolis. The Bengals then lost to Denver 24-23 the following week. By losing to the Steelers by a Santonio Holmes touchdown reception on the 3rd play of the extra session, the Bengals were eliminated. Cincinnati ended the season at 8-8.
