CINCINNATI — This season is all about prime time for the Cincinnati Bengals.
The AFC champs will have five prime-time games, the maximum allowed by the NFL. Two of those games will be at home: a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Miami Dolphins Sept. 29 and a Jan. 2 Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills.
For the first time ever, Cincinnati will open the season at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals will face the Browns in Cleveland on Halloween and play the Bucs on Christmas Eve in Tampa Bay.
The Bengals will play the LA Rams this year — it just won't be during the season. Cincinnati will host the reigning Super Bowl champions and the Arizona Cardinals this preseason. They'll also play at the Giants. Dates and times have yet to be determined.
