What is the ‘best’ ever Bengals shirt number?

What’s in a number? At the start of every new season, draft picks and free agents are assigned new squad numbers. This really shouldn’t be a big deal, but as history shows celebrated players are often synonymous with their digits. So what have been the most successful jersey numbers in Bengals history?

Why I became a Bengals fan: Andrew Townsend

An occasional series, we ask Bengals fans in the UK how and why they became a Bengals fan. This time, Andrew Townsend – from Yorkshire – tells us his story.

Farewell and thank you, Andy Dalton

As Carson Palmer’s protracted and acrimonious uncoupling from the Bengals continued painfully throughout the 2011 offseason, it was clear that the Bengals needed a new quarterback fast. Instead of signing a veteran free agent, the club selected Andy Dalton in the second round of the NFL Draft.

They had already selected wide receiver AJ Green with the fourth overall pick, and for almost a decade the pair became the faces of the franchise and one of the most successful quarterback-wide receiver partnerships in NFL history. Now that on-field partnership has been broken, and it’s time to say goodbye to 14.

What if we removed all people entirely and let artificial intelligence take over? Well, that’s what we do in this scenario! Spending our day in isolation to create 100 mock draft simulations on TheDraftNetwork.com for the first three rounds. The results are interesting…

The legend of Jon Kitna

It’s likely that the Cincinnati Bengals will select LSU’s Joe Burrow with the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. The selection of another quarterback high in the draft will not be a new approach for the Bengals: go back to Greg Cook, Jack Thompson, David Klingler, Akili Smith and Carson Palmer and they were all first-round picks, while Andy Dalton and Boomer Esiason were second-rounders, and the great Ken Anderson was selected in the third round.

But for Jon Kitna, his route to a special place in Bengals fans’ hearts wasn’t quite as straightforward.
