Their head coach was Paul Brown, who left the Cleveland Browns following the 1962 season with National Football League (NFL) record of 115–49–6, seven conference titles, and three NFL championships. His son Mike Brown did a study on pro football expansion and recommended Cincinnati as a potential site. In 1965, Brown met with Governor of Ohio James Rhodes and the two agreed the state could accommodate a second pro football team. The team recorded its first win in franchise history in week 2 with a 24–10 victory over the Denver Broncos. Timeline to establishment 1966 – Fearful the Cincinnati Reds baseball team would leave town and feeling pressure from local businessmen pushing for a pro football franchise, Cincinnati's city council approved the construction of Riverfront Stadium. 1967 – Brown's group was awarded an American Football League (AFL) expansion franchise. Brown named the team the Bengals, the name of Cincinnati's pro teams in the old AFL of the late 1930s. The Bengals acquired their first player late in the year when they traded two draft picks to Miami for quarterback John Stofa. 1968 preseason – The Bengals were awarded 40 veteran players in an expansion draft, held in mid-January 1968.https://www.newspapers.com/article/lincoln-journal-star-gilchrist-burnett/202414267/ Gilchrist, Burnett Rated Risks As Brown Builds Cincinnati Club Lincoln Journal Star Lincoln, Nebraska 37 January 17, 1968 July 25, 2026 newspapers.com In the 1968 NFL/AFL draft of college players, held in late January, they selected University of Tennessee center Bob Johnson as their first pick.
