The Cincinnati Bengals are already on a short week ahead of the team’s Week 16 encounter with the New England Patriots.
And now Mother Nature has thrown another wrinkle into the odd week.
The Christmas Eve contest in Foxboro is on a Saturday less than week removed from the team’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday.
And according to head coach Zac Taylor, via Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the team will actually leave Thursday night in order to beat the inclement weather.
That’s the only major change for an already-unusual week, but worth pointing out as the team hopes to get guys like Trey Hendrickson healthy enough to play. A seventh win in a row would clinch a playoff berth, provided the Thursday night game doesn’t do it for them, anyway.
