The Cardinals are 1-6 in Cincinnati and 4-0 at home against the Bengals.
The two teams met for the first time in 1973 in Cincinnati. The Bengals won that matchup 42-24. They last played in 2015 in Arizona on a Sunday night. The Cardinals won that game 34-31 on a last-second field goal by Chandler Catanzaro.
The last time they played in Cincinnati, the Bengals won 23-16. Cardinals receiver Early Doucet dropped a pass in the end zone from John Skelton to thwart a comeback. They fell behind 23-0 and rallied back to 23-16 and could have tied the game.
