Football is back! The Cincinnati Bengals opened up their 2024 preseason with a game at home in Paycor Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, losing by a score of 17-14.
The starters played for a short period of time on Saturday night. Joe Burrow and the starting offense drove down the field and scored on their opening possession before they were pulled, and the starting defense forced the Bucs into a three-and-out on their opening drive.
After that, the backups took over, and we got to see some bubble guys who may have played their way onto, or off of, the 53-man roster, which is due to be set by August 27.
