The father of football in Ohio, Paul Brown, has two sons: the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals. One of those cities loves and honors their great father, the other city dismissed Brown and chased LeBron away twice.

After being run out of town by the Browns’ controlling owner Art Modell, Paul figured the best way to get even would be to start a new franchise in the Buckeye state and wail away on the team that still bares his name.

Cincinnati holds bragging right with 51-46 edge, having swept the season series three years in a row from 2016 to 2019.

After spending years as a middling team, the Jungle Cats have started to find more success against other NFL teams as well. Led by superstars like Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals went 14-7 against the spread during their run to Super Bowl 56, ultimately coming up just short against the Los Angeles Rams. The loss was their first Super Bowl appearance since 1989, and while they didn’t capture the Vince Lombardi trophy, the Bengals have clearly turned a corner and will be competitive with their core group of players for years to come.

The Bengals recent success has continued into 2022, with their world-class offense getting a ton of support from a stalwart defensive unit. The Bengals are in a heated race for the AFC North division against the Baltimore Ravens, while the in-state rival Cleveland Browns are lagging behind early on in the year.

While Injuries are rearing their head again in 2022, with Trey Hendrickson, Logan Wilson, and DJ Reader injured through Week 7, the Bengals are staying resilient in their effort to push back to the Super Bowl this year.

This team can score in bunches when it’s intact, and their defensive core is nothing to sneeze at either.
