If you're doing a side by side comparison of the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee ***** ans, it'd be easy to ***** ume the Nov. 1 meeting at Paycor Stadium would be a one-sided contest just based on their records.
Cincinnati looks like an ascending, 4-2 team while the ***** ans are 1-6, and made a trade Oct. 29 that looks intended to jumpstart a rebuild effort.
Jason Williams Ring of Honor Trumpy How Bengals compare to Chiefs, Steelers in honoring legends | Williams
The fact is that the ***** ans have been as much of a handful as a 1-6 team can be. Four of their six losses were one-possession games (Eagles, Giants, Ravens, Browns) with an average margin of defeat in those contests of 4.5 points. Their lone win came against the 2-4 Indianapolis Colts.
If could be exactly the kind of game where the Bengals get stuck in a nail-biter, especially considering Cincinnati is still yet to play a complete game in which the team impressed in every phase.

There are now many signs pointing to Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase being full-go for the team's season-opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's a good starting point for the latest Bengals player to indicate his only goals for the 2026 season are to win the Super Bowl.
Speaking during a Sept. 10 news conference at Paycor Stadium, Chase said he felt good and has taken on his normal workload in practice. Chase injured his knee during an Aug. 25 training camp practice when he collided with cornerback DJ Turner II.
The missed practices for Chase that followed the collision were precautionary, he said. Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor said he anticipated both Chase and receiver Tee Higgins would be available for the Sept. 13 home opener, and Chase was listed in the Sept. 9-10 injury reports as a full participant in practice.
More: Dexter Lawrence may be Bengals' missing piece. Dabo Swinney, Daniel Jones, others reveal why
With health seemingly no longer threatening his ability to begin the season on time, Chase is set to begin his sixth NFL season with Super Bowl aspirations, but no personal or statistical aims he felt were worth mentioning during his Sept. 10 news conference.

The 2026 NFL season is right around the corner, and in an effort to stay competitive with their peers and opponents, teams are constantly looking to renovate or make improvements to their stadiums.
In a recent study based on Google and TripAdvisor fan reviews of NFL stadiums, Acrisure Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, came in ranked at No. 6.
The Baltimore Ravens' M&T Bank Stadium was ranked right behind Acrisure Stadium at No. 7, while the two Ohio teams did not fare well.

The Cincinnati Bengals moved to 2-0 in the preseason Saturday night, taking down the Chicago Bears 27-9 at Paycor Stadium. With Zac Taylor choosing to rest Cincinnati's starters following Thursday's joint practice, the game was primarily about giving the players fighting for roster spots another opportunity to make their case. They certainly took advantage of it. The Bengals' backups held their own against a Bears team that played a number of its starters, and Cincinnati eventually pulled away for a convincing victory.
One of the biggest stories was Dohnte Meyers, who continued his remarkable push for a roster spot, while Colbie Young also made an impact with a touchdown reception. The defense did its part as well, limiting Chicago to three field goals and nine total points, with rookie Landon Robinson among those making noise up front. Evan McPherson remained automatic, hitting both of his field-goal attempts—including a 58-yarder—and all three extra points.
But here's the discussion topic: what do we make of Josh Johnson?
The 40-year-old veteran quarterback turned in one of the better performances of the night, completing 15 of 23 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. He connected with Young for a 17-yard touchdown and later found Tanner Hudson for a six-yard score, helping Cincinnati take a 17-9 lead into halftime.
Obviously, **** ody is suggesting Johnson is going to challenge Joe Burrow for the starting job. But the Bengals brought him back because of his experience, knowledge of NFL offenses and ability to step into a difficult situation if needed. And if Cincinnati is looking for a veteran No. 3 quarterback who can keep the offense functional in an emergency, Johnson's performance Saturday certainly didn't hurt his case.

The Chicago Bears are visiting the Cincinnati Bengals for a Week 2 preseason game on Saturday at Paycor Stadium, which comes on the heels of Thursday's joint practice.
While it's expected that most of the starters won't be playing -- after Zac Taylor confirmed so for the Bengals and the presumption that Ben Johnson will also rest his -- there's still plenty to watch in this exhibition game as players fight for jobs and roster spots, as well as continuing positional battles and rookie performances.

The Chicago Bears will battle the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 2 preseason game on Saturday night at Paycor Stadium. Head coach Ben Johnson's team will play back-to-back road games to close out the preseason.
The Bears and Bengals conducted a joint practice on Thursday, which served as a big learning tool for both squads. Both offenses got off to hot starts before the defenses bounced back to close out practice. With that in mind, the expectation is that starters from both teams won't see the field on Saturday night. But there's still plenty to watch for Chicago as position battles continue to unfold and players make their case for a roster spot.

Running back Nick Chubb, a four-time Pro Bowler who played seven of his eight NFL seasons for the Cleveland Browns, announced his retirement August 21.
Chubb rushed for 506 yards over 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2025. Former Bengals running back Joe Mixon, released by the Texans in March, reportedly told former Bengals teammates he believes his NFL playing career is over.
In December 2024, Chubb missed the NFL Week 16 game against the Bengals at Paycor Stadium after suffering a broken foot during the Browns' Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
In Chubb's absence, former Cincinnati Bearcats standout Jerome Ford rushed for 92 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown in a loss to Cincinnati, adding 39 receiving yards on five catches.

A Twitter/X account with more than 460,000 followers took a shot at the Cincinnati Bengals over the whole having-to-cross-the-street-to-get-to-practice thing, and many rushed in the replies to the Bengals' defense.
"TRENDING: #bears star quarterback Caleb Williams was stunned when he realized he had to cross an actual street just to get to the #bengals practice field in Cincinnati," MLFootball tweeted. "This is still one of the most pathetic things that a professional franchise has."
Did Williams really look stunned? Crossing a street doesn't seem to be as stunning a development as, say, a Dexter Lawrence interception of Williams during the teams' joint practice near Paycor Stadium.
After the practice, Williams sounded impressed with Lawrence and the Bengals' revamped defense.

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland is entering his second season with the franchise and has momentum heading into this fall.
Loveland had a strong rookie season, totaling 58 receptions for 713 yards with six touchdowns. Loveland was particularly dangerous in the playoffs, including a massive performance over the Green Bay Packers in a 31-27 win in the wild card round. Loveland had eight receptions for 137 yards and was the first rookie tight end to have eight or more receptions and over 100 receiving yards in a playoff game in NFL history.
Loveland and Bears quarterback Caleb Williams developed a strong rapport in 2025, and the chemistry the duo exhibits has Williams believing Loveland can be the best at his position.
"He can become the best tight end in the league," Williams said on Wednesday. "But stats, and us going out there and proving it, is what it is going to take. And to be able to do that, we've got to put in work. We've got to build a connection, hang out inside and outside the building, have tough conversations or have open communication throughout the year and throughout camp. So, it's going to be exciting. It's going to be fun. He's a target to throw to."

Few Ohio high schools are better positioned to take advantage of the recent and historic state prep sports ruling making girls football a varsity sport than Badin High School.
The Butler County private school has already won a state flag football championship in 2025 and made it to the quarter finals — including a big regional championship win at Cincinnati Bengals Paycor Stadium — in this year’s Ohio tournament.
Officials at the Hamilton school said they are happy with the recent approval by the Ohio High School Athletic ******* ociation’s ruling now sanctioning a new varsity prep sports option for girls.
“It’s been a great addition to our athletic program,” said Badin Athletic Director Geoff Melzer.
“The girls have really embraced it and had a lot of success. They’re all in, we’re all in, and the sport is really exploding throughout the state,” said Melzer.
