Joe Burrow, Orlando Brown Jr. see the good in schedule consistency to start the year

The Cincinnati Bengals’ 2026 schedule has been revealed, and there’s a small quirk that two of the team’s most important players think can be a hidden advantage.

While the Bengals do have their fair share of Primetime games, including one in Spain against the Falcons, they start the season with seven consecutive Sunday 1 PM games.
Both Joe Burrow and Orlando Brown Jr. think this can be advantageous.
“That’s good,” Burrow told Geoff Hobson. “When we go on the road, we get back home early and watch more football. It’s always beneficial to watch more games. See how teams are playing and what teams are doing. See what defenses are doing.”
Brown Jr. echoed the sentiment.
“I’ve got no complaint about that,” he said. “As a player, we’ll get on a roll and get on a roll as a team. Normally, right around that Week 7 or Week 8, it’s always great because the team is settled in the seven-to-eight range.”
The Bengals’ bye is in Week 6, and then they’ll have two more 1 pm games before their Primetime schedule begins. Hopefully, the consistency that front-loads the schedule helps the Bengals jump out to an early start and avoid the patented Zac Taylor slow start.
Whatever gives them a leg up, right?
