Now boys, play nice!!
Here are the head to head facts.
The Bengals didn't play the Steelers until the NFL/AFL merge in 1970.
From 1970 - 1990 (under the ownership of Paul Brown)
The Bengals won 21 and lost 19 of the 40 times they met.
From 1991 to 2017 (under the ownership of Mike Brown)
The Bengals have won 14 and lost 42 in the 56 times they met.
Can an owner make a difference? ABSOLUTELY, because has the final say so in EVERYTHING that happens off the field and on the field with the exception of how the players perform and even then he has some influence through motivation.
The only speculation I have is that I believe if Mike had been a student/clone of his father and ran things exactly like he did, the Bengal franchise would be just as successful and play toe to toe with the Steelers.
