The Cincinnati Bengals are in danger of starting 0-2 for the third year in a row. All they have to do is *gulp* beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium. 

Pressure is extremely high for the Bengals this week. A bad loss to the New England Patriots has them in an all too familiar place. Speaking of familiar places, this will be the Bengals' fourth game in Kansas City in the last three calendar years. A win here could prevent them from going back a fifth time in the playoffs.

Will you be able to watch the game on TV? If you live in the red areas on the map below, you’ll get this game on your local CBS channel at 4:25pm ET, according to 506sports.com:

This is as close to a nationally televised game as you'll see during the day. The only markets that won't get the game are surrounding Pittsburgh and Denver, as they'll see the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Denver Broncos. Eastern Ohio's proximity to Pittsburgh will prevent the entire state from being able to watch the Bengals. 

Who's calling the Bengals game this week?

CBS is sending its top broadcasting crew to call the Bengals' game in Kansas City:

– Jim Nantz (play-by-play)
– Tony Romo (analyst)
– Tracy Wolfson (sideline)

This is a rematch of two of the last three AFC Championship games, so of course CBS is sending the same crew to call this game. Nantz and Romo have always done Bengals-Chiefs, even the very first game before the matchup became the rivalry it is now. Nantz's "What a gear he just found!" combined with Romo's "Chase is on the case!" call has been immortalized with that faithful game all the way back on the second day of 2022.

The vibes aren't as strong with the Bengals this time around. Ja'Marr Chase is fresh off his first game back from nearly reaching a contract extension and recovering from food poisoning. Chase is expected to play more and see more of the ball this week

Joe Burrow has also had better weeks. He underwhelmed in his first real game back from wrist surgery despite participating in all of training camp. He's always had time to warm up in the season before facing the Chiefs. He's got to get things right immediately this time around.

If the Bengals are to win their first game of the year as six-point underdogs, nearly the entire country will get to witness it.
