The1970 Cincinnati Bengals season was the franchise's first season in theNational Football League (NFL), and the third overall. TheNFL-AFL merger took place before the season and the Bengals, who were placed in the same division as the "old-guard NFL"Cleveland Browns andPittsburgh Steelers, were not expected to be playoff contenders. Nevertheless, the Bengals made their first NFL campaign a memorable one. After winning their first ever game as a member of the NFL, their inaugural game in the brand newRiverfront Stadium, they would lose six games in a row.

After the 1–6 start, the Bengals would win the rest of their games, rallying to an 8–6 finish and champions of the newly formedAFC Central division. In their first playoff game, the Bengals lost 17–0, to the eventual Super Bowl championBaltimore Colts. CincinnatiquarterbackGreg Cook was forced to the Injured Reserve list in training camp with a shoulder injury that would ultimately end his career;Virgil Carter took over as the starter. In just their third season, the 1970 Bengals set a league mark by being the first NFL expansion team to qualify for the playoffs within their first three seasons of existence.[1] The team is one of only four teams since the 1970 merger to start the season 1–5 or worse and qualify for the playoffs, the others being the2015 Kansas City Chiefs,[2] the2018 Indianapolis Colts, and the2020 Washington Football Team.
