The Bengals had a promising season finishing 10-6 and earning a playoff berth. Unfortunately they faced a tough Houston Texans team that led the AFC for a majority of the season. The Bengals look to come back and have a strong season but will face a tough schedule. Not only are they in a division with the reigning Super Bowl Champion Ravens they have to face the Steelers twice as well.

Not to mention they’re paired up with the AFC East, which means facing the Patriots, and a very tough NFC North division. They travel to Detroit and Chicago in the season opener. They also host Green Bay and Minnesota. The tough part of the schedule is in their season finale. If they’re trying to earn another playoff shot they have a tough last 4 weeks. They face the Colts in week 13, then travel to Pittsburgh, play the Vikings in week 16 before finishing the season against the current champion Ravens.
