The Cincinnati Bengals are scheduled to play two Sunday Night Football games on NBC this season, against the Ravens in Baltimore in Week 5 on Oct. 9 and against the Steelers in Pittsburgh in Week 11 on Nov. 20.
The Bengals announced earlier - ahead of Thursday night's 2022 NFL schedule release - that they'll open the season against the Steelers, for the first time.
The Bengals won both of their games against the Steelers last season, and both games against the Ravens.
NFL analyst and former Ravens linebacker Bart Scott said last December that Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow "won a lifetime career ass-kicking" by passing the ball when Cincinnati was routing Baltimore.

Now that my writing is done, here are my thoughts on the Bengals schedule:
*Bye week comes at a perfect time before tough second-half
* 3 AFCN primetime games means NFL thinks highly of the division
*Trip to NE in Dec. could be tough weather conditions— Kelsey Conway (@KelseyLConway) May 13, 2022
The NFL schedule is out, so let's take a look at those primetime matchups...

The Bengals' Week 4 meeting with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football could feature the first-ever NFL regular-season meeting between Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa, the top two quarterbacks selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. One of two scheduled Monday Night Football games for Cincinnati could include the first meeting between Burrow and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Additional potential firsts? Burrow vs. future Pro Football Hall of Famer Tom Brady in Tampa, and Burrow returning with Ja'Marr Chase to New Orleans' Superdome - where they led the LSU Tigers to a College Football Playoff national title - to face the Saints on Oct. 16.
The Bengals' preseason slate includes a Super Bowl rematch with the Los Angeles Rams, in Cincinnati on a date to be announced.
