Cincinnati Bengals fans are the most foul-mouthed fans in NFL, poll shows

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Regardless of the outcome of the NFL divisional playoff game, the Cincinnati Bengals can claim a different sort of title; namely having the most foul-mouthed fans.

This is according to a nationwide survey of fans by the site British Gambler. Bengals fans ranked No. 1 for that spot, as well as No. 8 in terms of fans who swear the most during games. Close behind are fans of the Buffalo Bills, the team the Bengals play on Sunday in a rematch of their aborted game earlier this month.

There's another Ohio connection in that category, too, as Cleveland Browns fans ranked No. 6.

Bengals fans said the thing that makes them swear most is bad calls by the referees. A close second was fumbles or interceptions.

The team found to have the fans that swear the most was the New York Giants.

When compared to Premier League soccer fans in the U.K. who swear on average 5.5 times per game, American football fans swear more often with an average of 7.1 times per game.
