The Series Record

Packers vs Bengals history consists of 14 regular season matchups resulting in a 7-7 all-time record. The last time the two teams met was in 2021, with the Packers winning 25-22 in overtime because both teams combined to miss five field goals by Packer’s Mason Crosby and Bengal’s Evan McPherson.

Their First Matchup – 1971

The Green Bay Packers and the Cincinnati Bengals met in 1971 for the first time. The game was played on October 3, 1971, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers won the game 20-17.

The Packers were led by quarterback Bart Starr, who threw for 234 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Bengals were led by quarterback Greg Cook, who threw for 212 yards and 1 touchdown.

The Packers took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Bengals rallied to tie the game at 14-14 at halftime. The Packers scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter, and they held on for the win.

The Packers’ win over the Bengals in 1971 was their first win in the series. The Packers and the Bengals have met 14 times since then, with each team winning 7 games.

Forrest Gregg and the 1980’s

In the 1980s, the Bengals-Packers games demonstrated the meteoric rise of Cincinnati.

Under the expert guidance of head coach Forrest Gregg, a former Packers standout and Hall of Famer, the Bengals demonstrated a dominant display in their November 1985 encounter, concluding in a resounding 34-28 victory.

This game was a symbol of Gregg’s successful transition from a Green Bay player to a Cincinnati leader.

Favre’s First Win – 1992

The Game That Started the Packers Resurgence

The game started with the Packers’ quarterback, Don “The Majik Man” Majkowski. However, an unfortunate injury forced Majkowski out of the game.

This was the moment when Brett Favre, a second-year quarterback from Southern Mississippi, stepped in. Favre, who was acquired by Ron Wolf, the Packers GM, from the Atlanta Falcons for a first-round draft choice, was yet to prove hisself in the NFL.

The game was filled with intense moments, including a 95-yard touchdown punt return by Bengal rookie Karl Pickens. However, the defining moment came when Favre connected with Kitrick Taylor for a game-winning touchdown pass.

This marked Favre’s first win in the NFL, a significant milestone in his career and a memorable moment in the Packers vs Bengals history.

The Impact of Favre’s First Win

Brett Favre’s first win was more than just a game victory; it was a turning point for the Packers. It marked the beginning of the Favre era in Green Bay, an era that would see the Packers become one of the most successful teams in the NFL. Favre’s performance in this game showed his potential and gave a glimpse of the greatness that was to come.

In the years that followed, Favre led the Packers to multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl victory. He became one of the most decorated players in the NFL, earning three consecutive MVP awards and setting numerous records. His first win against the Bengals was the start of this incredible journey.

Most Recent Packers vs Bengals History

In the 2021 game, both teams combined to miss five field goals in the final 2:14 of regulation and overtime.

Packers kicker Mason Crosby missed three field goals, including a 36-yarder with 2:16 to play and a 51-yarder as time expired to send the game to overtime tied at 22. Bengals kicker Evan McPherson missed two field goals, including a 57-yarder with 21 seconds left in regulation and a 49-yarder in overtime.

Crosby finally made a field goal in overtime, a 49-yarder, to give the Packers a 25-22 win.

The game was notable for the number of missed field goals, which had never happened before in an NFL game. The previous record for most missed field goals in a game was four, which had been done twice.

The missed field goals were a major factor in the outcome of the game. If Crosby had made either of his two late field goals in regulation, the Packers would have won the game. And if McPherson had made his 57-yard field goal with 21 seconds left in regulation, the Bengals would have won the game.
