The NFL naming the Bengals AFC North champions while ruling their Week 17 game a no-contest and setting AFC playoff seeding rulings cements next season’s schedule.
As a divisional champion, the Bengals will play other No. 1 division finishers while also taking on the AFC North, NFC West and AFC South. They will play nine home games and eight on the road after playing more games on the road in 2022.
There’s no sense in trying to figure out how difficult that schedule might actually end up being and the dates are far from being established. But it’s still worth a glance over to see what sort of matchups the Bengals will have next year.
