Giants are one of only 3 teams that the Bengals have at least .667 winning percentage against, but we have only played them 9 times (6-3). Home team has won EVERY game in the series.
Notable games.....
'85....Weak Bengals team (7-9) is held to less than 200 yards in offense while allowing Phil Sims to pass for 513. But Cincy gets four turnovers (including an int ret td) and a 35-30 upset win against a Giants team that would finish 10-6 and beat the Forty-niners in the playoffs.
'12....Through the first 9 weeks of the season the Bengals looked dead at 3-5 while only 3 teams had a better record than the defending Super Bowl Champion Giants 6-3. Bengals explode out of the gate (Dalton to Green 56 yd td,....Adam Jones 68 yd PR.....Dalton to Hawkins td) and are up 14 in just four-and-a-half minutes. Giants never get closer than 11 points as Bengals cruise to 31-13 victory. Most importantly this was the first win in a 7-1 finish that would take the Bengals from dead (3-5) to the playoffs (10-6).
