The 6 Bengals games most likely to be in prime time next season

These are the Cincinnati Bengals games with the best chance at earning a prime time slot.

The Cincinnati Bengals seem like one of the NFL’s more interesting teams heading into the 2020 season.

Fresh off actually resetting the roster to Zac Taylor’s vision with big spending in free agency and the draft class headed up by Joe Burrow, the Bengals seem ready to actually start a new era.

Thursday, the NFL will announce the official 2020 schedule. When they do, these games figure to be the likeliest to earn a prime time slot. While the Bengals have one of the easier schedules and some dud matchups (vs. Jaguars, anyone?), there is still some big prime time potential.

Chase Young and Joe Burrow are headed for a historic matchup.

This is one of the rare games where the first pick will square off against the second pick. Even better, it features a pair of rebuilding teams with young quarterbacks just looking to rewrite narratives, both on the field and when it comes to cultures.
