The Cincinnati Bengals led by Joe Burrow will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 1 to kick off their new campaign.
The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on 11th September 2022 to kickstart their new NFL season. This will be one of the biggest matches of the regular season for both these teams. They are part of the same division; AFC North and this match could play huge implications on the playoff race as well.
The Bengals are coming off a Super Bowl run last season where they shocked everyone and overcame all the odds to win the AFC. They got better in the offseason, and another good season will be expected from them.
On the other hand, a new era is on the horizon for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as long-time legendary QB Ben Roethlisberger retired last season. Now, Mitchell Trubisky has the opportunity to prove his critics wrong and perform with this team.
