Where will the Bengals open 2016?

The NFL likely wants one of the Pitt games to be during Burfict's suspension.

Plus, the Bengals haven't been able to open at home very often, due to Reds schedule, so I expect it to be a home game.

I'm thinking the opposite. With injuries and such you never know what's going to happen — so they aren't going to wait until later in the season. We will play Pittsburgh the week of or the week after Burfict's suspension is up.

As much as they want to downplay what happened, they love the buzz it generated. And we'll be primetime for whatever week that is between us and them, with a pre-game show talking for an hour about Burfict and how to hit a player. They'll probably give Porter rollerskates for the event so he can get around the field quicker.
