Bengals have won their last three games against the Rams and lead the series 8-5
Teams only met once when both teams finished with a winning record. Bengals beat the Rams 20-16 in 1976 on the strength of two Boobie Clark tds. Bengals finished 10-4 that year but missed playoffs. Rams finished 10-3-1 and made it to the NFC Conference Championship game before losing to the Vikings.
Two years later Bengals beat the Rams again in the biggest upset in the history of the series. A 2-12 Bengals beat the 11-3 Rams who would go the NFC Conference Championship game again that year. Rams looked to be cruising to an easy victory when they scored three times in the first quarter to take 13-0 lead. But Dick Jauron had two interceptions for the Bengals, Anderson hit Curtis for a 46 yd td; and they battled back to win 20-19 on a fourth quarter FG.
Interesting to note that both of these games were on Monday Night Football.
