The Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) got off to a good start to the 2026 regular season this past weekend. They will go on the road for the first time this year to face the Houston Texans (0-1).

Cincinnati last played the Texans during the 2023 season. The Bengals were unknowingly in the beginning of their current postseason drought, and Houston was experiencing a promising rookie season from quarterback C.J. Stroud. Three years later, the Texans are coming off a loss in their home-opener, and Joe Burrow looks to go 2-0 to start the year for the second consecutive time.
