Cincinnati Bengals NFL playoff all-time record, history

Two years ago, the Cincinnati Bengals were 2-14 and finished with the NFL's worst record. Last year, the Bengals were 4-11-1 and once again finished in last place in the AFC North. 

This year? Well, this year the Bengals are division champions and playing in the NFL playoffs. 

It's a quick turnaround for the Bengals from the league's worst record to one of its best. 

Before picking Joe Burrow first overall in 2020, the last time the Bengals had the No. 1 pick in the draft was 2003. It took the franchise two seasons (2003 and 2004) before finally making the playoffs with its former No.1 overall pick quarterback, Carson Palmer, leading the charge in 2005.

So if you thought the Bengals were ahead of schedule in terms of making the playoffs, you're not wrong. But the question remains what happens when the Bengals do make the playoffs? 

Here's how many times Cincinnati has reached the postseason and what they did when they got there.
