Summary

There are many things to look forward to on the Bengals 2026 Schedule and the 2026 Season. One of those things is the season-opener, as Joe Burrow faces an old AFC North rival in quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss the Bengals' Week 1 matchup against the Buccaneers and how fireworks could be seen from both quarterbacks. But there's more to this matchup than just the two quarterbacks, and one thing could benefit the Bengals in the early part of the season. With the other three teams in the AFC North changing head coaches this offseason, does this mean the Bengals should be favored to win the AFC North in 2026? There can be a case made for both sides of that question. The Bengals have a favorable schedule in 2026. But there's another element that may enable them to get back to the Playoffs in 2026. After all, the entire AFC is wide open. Joe Burrow represents a lot of things to the Bengals and Cincinnati. But above all of those things, it may be Burrow being an ambassador to the Bengals franchise, the Queen City, and beyond.
