The Bengals and Buccaneers will meet in a nightcap on Saturday as part of Week 1 preseason action. Both teams are fringe playoff contenders in unique ways.

Cincinnati was without Joe Burrow for much of the 2023 season, hindering its chances at securing another playoff berth and AFC North title. Due to a crowded playoff picture, the Bengals were eliminated late in the season, leaving more questions than answers on what a talented team it might have become.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay got into the playoffs in an average NFC South, thanks to the deadly combo of Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans, along with a suffocating defensive unit that held the Eagles to under 100 rushing yards and two red zone trips throughout the 32-9 wild-card weekend win.

But the page turns to 2024, as the Bengals and Buccaneers aim for respective postseason berths and refine their rosters to 53 players.
