Copied! As the Bengals perused their first 17-game schedule that was released Wednesday night, they saw another Paul Brown Stadium opener (Vikings), their latest bye week in eight years (Nov. 14) and their latest regular-season game ever (Jan. 9) in their first all-time season finale in Cleveland. After the bye they play five of their last eight games at PBS, headlined by back-to-back appearances of NFL MVP quarterbacks Lamar Jackson of Baltimore on Dec. 26 and Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City on Jan. 2 in 1 p.m. games. But after the Sept. 12 opener against old friend Mike Zimmer's Vikings, they could face as many as five teams with new quarterbacks during their nine games before the bye.
