Two consecutive wins have the Cincinnati Bengals still breathing in the playoff hunt, and they're heavy favorites to win once more this week against the Cleveland Browns.
Cincinnati has already beaten Cleveland this year back in October, the same game in which Deshaun Watson tore his achilles and Dorian Thompson-Robinson replaced him. DTR will get the start this week as the Browns try to avoid being swept by the Bengals for the first time since 2017.
Will you be able to watch the Bengals go for three wins in a row? If you live in the blue areas on the map below, you’ll get this game on your local CBS channel at 1:00pm ET, according to 506sports.com.
While most of the country will get the Los Angeles Rams vs New York Jets matchup, virtually all parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania, most of Kentucky and Virginia, and all of Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia will be able to watch the Bengals game. Southeastern Indiana, Southern New Jersey, and even Northeastern North Carolina will have coverage.
CBS is sending the following broadcasting crew to call the Bengals' game in Cincinnati:
- Spero Dedes (play-by-play)
- Adam Archuleta (analyst)
- Aditi Kinkhabwala (sideline)
Bengals broadcasters Dan Hoard (play-by-play) and Dave Lapham (analyst) will be calling the game on the Bengals Radio Network.
- Cincinnati flagship stations WCKY-AM (1530), WEBN-FM (102.7) and WLW700.
- SiriusXM Ch. 386
This is the 103rd installment of the "Battle of Ohio." The Bengals are 3-8 against their in-state rivals since head coach Zac Taylor was hired in 2019, and are 2-5 with Joe Burrow at quarterback. They have won three of the last four meetings, with two of the wins being by multiple scores as well.
The original NFL schedule had this game slated for "Thursday Night Football," but the league flexed it to a Sunday game and Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers is now the TNF matchup.
Day or night, Bengals vs Browns is always entertaining. The Bengals need to win to avoid playoff elimination, and the Browns will be playing for pride.
