Cincinnati Bengals were founded in 1968 when Art Modell, then owner of the Cleveland Browns relocated the team to Baltimore. However, due to the relocation, Art Modell was not allowed to keep the Browns' history and records as a replacement team would take control in 1999.
They have been a very successful franchise since qualifying for the playoffs 12 times since 2000 and winning 2 Super Bowls (XXXV and XLVII).
