Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis very candidly sounded off on the NFL’s decision to have the Bengals play a primetime game in Baltimore for a fourth straight season. Not to mention it’s a Thursday night game for a third straight season.

In 2024, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens got the best of the Bengals with a score of 35-34. After a touchdown from star receiver Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati went for two, and came up just short of taking the lead. Burrow will be looking to lead the team to the win column in primetime games against Jackson and the Ravens.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said on Tuesday that it is "a little disappointing" that the team does not have an international game because he would like to play on "a stage like that" as the NFL tries to grow its global footprint.
