The Cincinnati Bengals won the AFC Central Division in its first NFL season with the help mostly relying on the defense of starred cornerbacks Lemar Parrish and Ken Riley. In 1968, American Football League named running back Paul Robinson as the rookie of the year and in 1969, quarter back Greg Cook took the honors of being named rookie of the year. Paul Brown masterminded the Cincinnati Bengals to postseason appearances again in 1973 and 1975. In the same period Ken Anderson became known as one of the NFL’s finest quarterbacks, with the help of wide receiver Isaac Curtis and tight ends Bob Trumpy. Ken Anderson won three consecutive titles from 1973 to 1975.Under head coach Forrest Gregg the bengals won the division crown in 1981. Forrest Gregg was a former offensive tackle and a member of the Hall of Fame.

The Bengals remained ambitious throughout the mid-1980s. Boomer Esiason replaced Ken Anderson in 1985 and, like his predecessor, became one of the NFL’s premier quarterbacks. Esiason won the first of his two NFC passing titles and shared player of the year honors with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham. Cincinnati won it's fifth division title in 1990 and Esiason added one more to get six consecutive 3,000-yard season, a club record. The Bengals won a total of just 11 games from 1992 to 1994, and the team continued to struggle for much of the rest of the 1990s. Hall of Famer Paul Brown is considered to be the greatest coach of the Cleveland Browns, having led them to many championship titles using innovative approaches to training, game plans and other revolutionary approaches that earned him his enshrinement in the Football Hall of Fame.
