The Cincinnati Bengals will open the 2022 NFL season against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Paul Brown Stadium.
The Bengals announced the season opener on Thursday just a few hours before the NFL unveiled the full season schedule.
This is the first time the Bengals will open the season against the Steelers. It’s a 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and while not the high-profile primetime game some thought the Bengals might get after a trip to the Super Bowl, it’s still a marquee matchup.
Cincinnati swept Pittsburgh last year, recording wins of 24-10 and 41-10 margins.
This game takes place on September 11 at 1 p.m. ET. The announcement:
For the first time ever, we open the season against Pittsburgh #RuleTheJungle
