The Cincinnati Bengals have not played overseas since 2019, when the AFC North side fell to the Los Angeles Rams inside Wembley Stadium in a 24-10 loss.<\/p>\n
Since then, the Bengals have been planted inside the United States, but a change could be on the horizon. When the NFL announces the full schedule in mid-May, Cincinnati could be on its way overseas, across what will be an NFL-record nine international games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So far, the matchups confirmed have the Rams taking on the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, with other teams confirmed to play being the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Commanders, and the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/p>\n
Which Matchup Could Be The Most Likely?<\/p>\n
On Dan Hoard\u2019s \u201cBengals Booth Podcast<\/a>,\u201d Bengals senior writer Geoff Hobson<\/a> discussed whether the NFL would be likely to set Cincinnati against the Washington Commanders inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or the Atlanta Falcons at the historic Santiago Bernab\u00e9u.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, I kind of lean to Washington. They’re into matchups, and that’s gonna be Burrow versus Jadyen Daniels. They had a primetime shootout at PayCor, a couple years ago,\u201d\u00a0Hobson said on the show.<\/p>\n When the two sides last met, the Commanders scraped by the Bengals thanks to an astounding 21\/23 passing mark from Daniels to go with two touchdowns and a 38-33 Bengals loss that sent Zac Taylor\u2019s side to an 0-3 start.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cBoth really are exciting players\u2026That’s what I would lean to, just because of the matchup,\u201d Hobson said.<\/p>\n Both Daniels and Burrow have run the NFL roughshod in their own respective ways, creating what could be an overseas classic.<\/p>\n
