The history of the Cincinnati Bengals has been a long and often difficult one, with injuries always seeming to haunt the Bengals players over the years. Under the current Marvin Lewis administration, the Cincinnati Bengals have come a long way since the “Bungels” era and have been perennial winners and post-season favorites to boot. The most recent season ended with a disappointing 7-9 record, but the Bengals have all the tools to reach the Super Bowl in 2008!
Behind a great offensive line, Carson Palmer is one of the best QBs in the NFL. The wide out combination of Chad Johnson and TJ Houshmandzadeh is a deadly weapon that can dominate any defense, while RB Rudi Johnson pounds opponents to open up the passing game. The young 4-3 defense is led by rookie OLB Keith Rivers along with DEs Antwan Odom and Robert Geathers, who together form an aggressive pass-rushing duo. Young ace CB Leon Hall has the potential to be a shutdown corner for years to come.
Head coach Marvin Lewis has brought a culture of winning to the Cincinnati Bengals and his motivation will be needed with the tough schedule ahead.

Non-division play will also be a hard task with the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, and New York Giants headlining the opponents.
