While the full 2021 Cincinnati Bengals schedule won’t get released until the event at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday night, Fox got ahead of the curve by announcing its Week 1 slate.

In doing so, it revealed that the Bengals will play the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the 2021 season.

That means the Bengals, who hope to have Joe Burrow back on the field to get that connection with fifth pick Ja’Marr Chase going, will also face a stout defensive test against Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson.

Again, the big reveal event tonight will showcase the entire Cincinnati schedule. In the interim, we know every opponent the Bengals will face, plus that new 17th game against San Francisco.
