Okay, so I was digging into this whole “Cincinnati Super Bowl wins” thing today, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a rollercoaster, mostly downhill, though.
![Cincinnati Super Bowl Wins: A Look Back at the Bengals in the Big Game.](https://www.jpsexton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/11db1dc9eff4d804f7763fba4f14a146.jpeg)
I started out all optimistic. I mean, the Bengals, they’ve had some good seasons, right? I figured, “Surely, they’ve snagged at least ONE Super Bowl.” So, I started by hitting up the usual spots – you know, general searches, sports news sites, the works.
Initially, I was just browsing, trying to get a feel for their Super Bowl history. I scrolled through a bunch of articles about their appearances – they HAVE been to the Super Bowl, which I kind of forgot. I was like a detective, so I kept going to find the victory.
My “Research” Process (aka Going Down a Rabbit Hole)
- First Step: Started with broad searches.
- Second Step: Narrowed it down to specific Super Bowl years.
- Realization: Oh… oh no.
- Confirmation:Yeah, I confirmed it a few different ways. The Bengals have been to the Super Bowl,but the victory? nope.
The deeper I dug, the more I realized… the Bengals don’t actually have any Super Bowl wins. It’s a big zero. A goose egg. Zilch. I even triple-checked, thinking maybe I missed something. Nope. It’s a fact.
It’s kind of a bummer, to be honest. I always like a good underdog story, and seeing a team finally get that championship win is awesome. But hey, it is what it is. The Bengals are one of those teams that, so far, haven’t managed to grab that Super Bowl trophy.
