Cincinnati Bengals 2026 Schedule: Soft Slate, Strong Offense, Upgraded Defense The Cincinnati Bengals have been dealt a favorable hand with their 2026 schedule, featuring a soft slate and a potent offense led by Joe Burrow, JaMarr Chase, and Tee Higgins. ESPNs Dan Graziano has already penciled them into the AFC Championship picture. The teams defense, bolstered by offseason acquisitions, has transformed a weakness into a strength. With the AFC North in disarray due to new coaches and question marks at quarterback, the Bengals are poised to seize the division crown. However, Burrows health will be a crucial factor in their deep postseason run. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
