The AFC Central was formed as a result of the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. The new NFL was aligned into six divisions (two conferences of three divisions each). The original AFC Central had four members - the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Oilers. The Bengals and Oilers were previously members of the American Football League, while the Steelers and Browns were already established NFL franchises.
