I am proposing this deletion because this is extremely likely to be a short term blip in their history. Unlike Bills-Chiefs rivalry, which had a history in the 90s, this really was only a thing from 2021-2023 and is likely already fading with the Bengals not making the playoffs the last two years. This feels eerily similar to the relationship between the Braves and Phillies, which does not have an article per multiple discussions. Maybe if they meet in the playoffs we can rediscuss, but for now the rivalry seems to mainly be disgruntled Bengals fans. 134.204.117.34 (talk) 19:56, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Sourcing does not suggest a "rivalry", just two teams that play each other. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:42, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete this is not a rivalry. In fact, it shows how "rivalry" is often used in American journalism to describe things that are not true "rivalries" in the Wikipedia sense... SportingFlyer T·C 20:46, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:FANCRUFT. I am not doubting this could be something bigger if the Bengals stay competitive. However, I've found very little significant coverage over the rivalry. It really just talks about the two teams meeting up in a game during the season or something similar. Conyo14 (talk) 01:06, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this isn't an established, long-term notable rivalry, it's two teams that play each other quite a bit and had interesting matches for 3 years. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:19, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
