CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals open the 2022 NFL regular season against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 11 at Paul Brown Stadium.
That's when the Bengals can start to prove their status as bonafide contenders for years to come. Cincinnati is coming off a narrow Super Bowl LVI loss to the Los Angeles Rams. But despite the team's first conference championship in 33 years, oddsmakers don't have Cincinnati among the favorites to win the AFC again.
The Bengals are bolstered by one of the most promising passing attacks in the NFL.
