They lost 26-21 and 20-16 in those games. Both close losses. Rocked? The Bengals deserve to be on the list, but I don’t understand saying they were “rocked” by the 49ers in two Super Bowls.

In 2008, the Bengals set a record for the most games needed under one specific owner to attain 100 wins (288). In 2010, the team set a record for the least games needed to lose 200 (both considering and not considering playoffs) under one specific owner (314). The Bengals hold a number of distinctions for the time frame of Brown's ownership: It is the only team with three nine-game-or-more losing streaks. It also holds six of the twenty-five 0-6 starts (24%) and four of the thirteen 0-8 starts (31%) in that time. The Bengals have gone winless in October eight different times in twenty years under five different head coaches (Sam Wyche was originally hired by Paul Brown). The most successful coach during Mike Brown's tenure is current coach Marvin Lewis with a .465 winning percentage (60-69-1). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Brown_(NFL_owner) Given the following, the Cincinnati Bengals need to be moved up in the rankings:
