The 750 games rank sixth in the league, trailing the Los Angeles Rams (938), Minnesota Vikings (922), San Francisco 49ers (890), Green Bay Packers (875) and New York Giants (784).

Three of those teams ahead of the Bengals have made more Round 4-7 selections than the 32 they have – Vikings (41), Rams (40) and Packers (38).
