The only other time the current Bengals only won 2 games was the 2002 season which also got them the number one draft pick and they drafted Carson Palmer in 2003. Weird...
Full disclosure, I didn't know the Bengals existed in any form back then. Pre-merger football for me is prehistoric. 1937 is like pre-wheel. That's an amazing little nugget I wouldn't have come across otherwise. Thanks.
