It's been 32 years since the Cincinnati Bengals played in the Super Bowl, but Feb. 13 will mark the franchise's third shot at an NFL title.
This year's journey started with all available players showing up for organized team activities, and continued as the Bengals surprised the league by winning the AFC North, despite being projected to finish last in the division before the season.
Once the Bengals swept the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens during the regular season, the tone was set for what transpired in the postseason.
Starting with the wild-card round, the Bengals got their second win over the Las Vegas Raiders thanks to an interception near the goal line by Germaine Pratt.
