Cincinnati Bengals Finish Ninth in Old Spice's Swagger Rankings

In an offseason headlined by Chad Ochocinco being named to the 2010 Pro Bowl and Marvin Lewis earning AP Coach of the Year, the Cincinnati Bengals should also be proud of where they stand in the first-ever release of the Swagger Rankings.

For the first time, Old Spice released their NFL Swagger Rankings, which accumulated statistics for all 32 teams from 2006 through Week Nine of the 2009 regular season to determine who contained the most "swagger." The Bengals just made the top 10, finishing ninth out of the 32 teams with the categories based off:

• Red Zone Performance: Scoring and tackling when it counts requires Swagger on both sides of the ball
• Taking Your Swagger on the Road: Winning a game while tens of thousands cheer against you requires massive amounts of Swagger
• Fourth Down Conversions: It’s fourth down. You have to have Swagger to go for it…and make it
• Gentleman’s Game: It takes a different level of Swagger to play the game by the rules and avoid penalties
• Merchandise Sales: When fans wear your team colors like a uniform, you definitely have Swagger

The top five teams with the most swagger include the Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Minnesota Vikings. The complete list of rankings can be found here on Old Spice’s website.
