Weeks 3 through 6 won’t be a picnic either, with at Minnesota, at Denver, home vs. Detroit and at Green Bay, all playoff teams from 2024. But with at Cleveland and home with Jacksonville as the first two games, it’s almost a must for Cincy to avoid their usual 0-2 start, and get out of the gate 2-0. If they start 0-2 again, surely heads will roll.

Tough draw on the other divisions the AFC North will see this season. Makes it tough to contend for a wild card. They'll need to perform well against the AFC East and take care of business in almost all of the games that they'll be favored in.

Agree that heads will roll if there's another 0-2 start.

This feels like a make or break season in Cincinnati.
