It's been talked about, but I am still just amazed...

Also love that we get them and Buffalo at home.

One game that will surely be a primetime game now that TB12 has returned is the Tampa game.  Brady vs. Burrow.  Too bad that is a road game...could end up being in Germany!  

2022 Season

HOME

• Cleveland Browns
• Kansas City Chiefs
• Miami Dolphins
• Pittsburgh Steelers
  

AWAY

• Baltimore Ravens
• Cleveland Browns
• Dallas Cowboys
• New England Patriots

• New York Jets
• Pittsburgh Steelers

Bengals.com states:

The formula for each team's 17-game schedule includes:

• home and away games against its three division opponents (6 games)
• the four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games)
• the four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games)
• three games against conference opponents based on the prior year's standings (3 games)
  
  However, I assume that last point is not worded precisely.  
  
  The first point is against our division (Browns, Ravens, Steelers). 
  
  The second is the four teams in the AFC East (Bills, Patriots, Dolphins, Jets).
  
  The third is the four teams in the NFC South (Tampa Bay, Saints, Falcons, and Panthers).
  
  But the fourth only allows two games against 1st place opponents in its conference (1st place Chiefs and 1st place Titans). The other opponent is the 1st place Dallas in the "other conference." I guess it could just say "against opponents" based on the prior year standings. Probably an artifact of the way worded when 16 games. 
  
  At any rate, those are the three that we have different from the Ravens, Steelers, and Browns (the Chiefs, the Titans, and the Cowboys).
