Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow is not happy about at least one thing on his team’s 2025 NFL schedule, and it concerns the AFC North division rivals Baltimore Ravens.

The former LSU Tigers signal-caller recently expressed his disappointment over the fact that the Bengals will once again play a prime-time game in Baltimore, for the fourth year in a row.

Via Ben Baby of ESPN:

“Playing in Baltimore for the fourth straight prime-time year isn’t ideal,” Burrow said after Tuesday’s voluntary workout. “Maybe we can get one of those in Cincinnati next year. Please.”

The Bengals have played a night game at M&T Bank Stadium in each of the past three seasons. All of them have been defeats, including last year’s 35-34 loss in Week 10.

In the 2024 NFL season, the Bengals went winless in two games versus Baltimore. They lost to Lamar Jackson and company in Week 4 at home in a barburner of a matchup, as the Ravens came away with a 41-38 win via overtime. In Week 10, the Ravens scored another close victory at the expense of Cincinnati in Baltimore, 35-34.

Joe Burrow, Bengals are on a mission to reclaim AFC North glory

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow celebrates a Week 17 overtime win over the Denver Broncos that kept Cincinnati’s slim playoff hopes alive. Burrow threw for 412 yards and three touchdowns in the game and also added a rushing score.

Burrow and the Bengals are looking to break out of mediocrity after two consecutive 9-8 seasons. They have also missed the boat to the playoffs in both campaigns, finishing fourth and third in the AFC North division in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Burrow will be front and center in the Bengals’ mission to reclaim the throne in the division, which they last held in the 2022 NFL season by finishing 12-4.
