Coming into the 2020 NFL season, this was a game that a lot of people had circled on their schedules, with the Washington Football Team playing host to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Joe Burrow was finally coming to D.C. to face off against Chase Young. The No. 1 vs. the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Former teammates at Ohio State before Burrow transferred to LSU and led the Tigers to a championship.
Of course, this matchup would have been a lot more fun if QB Dwayne Haskins was taking part, considering that he is the one who beat out Burrow in a quarterback-competition in Ohio State, sending Burrown into the transfer portal, but that’s besides the point. This is still going to be a fun game to watch if you’re a fan of generational talent being put to the test in their early days.
So will this matchup be televised in your area? Take a look, using the 506 Sports Coverage Map for Week 11:
Shown in light blue, this game will actually be televised on CBS, rather than FOX, and there are not many places outside of the Cincinnati and D.C. areas putting this one on top for viewers. Of course, that has more to do with the terrible records of both teams, than anything else.
