For the underdog Cincinnati Bengals and their long-suffering fans, a win over the Rams in LVI on Sunday might feel like too much to hope for given the team's painful history dating back to 1968.Prior to their thrilling upset over City Chiefs in the AFC title game on January 30, the Bengals had reached only two Super Bowls ever, losing to Joe Montana's San Francisco 49ers in 1982 and 1989.Since then, the franchise has defined ineptitude under owner Mike Brown, the son of franchise's founder and first coach, Paul. Once-promising quarterback prospects like David Klinger and Akili Smith flamed out of the league, players like receiver Carl Pickens publicly criticized the front office, and the Bengals failed to win a single playoff game for more than three decades.
