How we count
Records are summed once per game on this schedule, so an opponent who shows up twice is counted twice. Before playing the Cincinnati Bengals uses only that opponent's games completed before the kickoff. vs. the Cincinnati Bengals is the opponents' combined record in those head-to-head games. After playing the Cincinnati Bengals uses only games completed later. Total adds the three together. Canceled, postponed, and vacated games are excluded. Winning percentage counts a tie as half a win.
Regular-season games only. Playoff games are left out. A neutral site does not change who won.
