5 things we learned from the Bengals’ first playoff win in 31 years

The curse is broken! The wait is over! The Cincinnati Bengals got the monkey off their back!

The Bengals defeated the Raiders 26-19, advancing to the next round of the playoffs for the first time since the 1990 season.

The last team the Bengals beat in the playoffs was the Houston Oilers. They have since been renamed the Tennessee Oilers and then the Tennessee Titans after moving to Memphis and Nashville.

The team that ended the Bengals playoff run in the 1990 season was the Los Angeles Raiders. They went on to become the Oakland Raiders, and are now the Las Vegas Raiders that the Bengals took care of in the Wild Card round.
