It’s the last week of the NFL preseason, which means the Cincinnati Bengals are facing off against the Indianapolis Colts with September in sight.

Cincinnati got two weeks of exhibition action with its starting offense and defense playing mostly first quarter snaps. Week 1 didn’t end so well against the Philadelphia Eagles, but Week 2 saw the Bengals’ first preseason win since 2022.

This week, like it always is, will be about the backups, reserves, and roster hopefuls. 30-something players with jobs on the line will be looking to make every rep count in the first game played at Paycor Stadium this calendar year.

Kickoff is scheduled for Aug. 23, at 1:00 p.m. ET. Here is how you can watch the game.
