The Bengals and Patriots both have reason to be excited about their short-term and long-term futures.
For Cincinnati, it's a healthy Joe Burrow reuniting with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. For New England, it's new franchise QB Drake Maye kicking off a brand-new era. These teams will face off at Paycore Stadium in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.
The Sporting News has everything you need to know about tickets and parking for this season opener, as well as the full schedule and ticket links for Cincinnati and New England in the 2024 season.
These teams may not share the same path to contention — the Pats are a ways away from even being in the Wild Card conversation, never mind a perennial powerhouse like the Brady days — but New England has plenty of talent and a fantastic new head coach in Jerod Mayo.
As for Cincy, the mission statement should basically be 'Super Bowl or bust.' A healthy Burrow and a bolstered defense means the Bengals have enough to make it through the AFC, but that starts with winning the games they have to like this one against the Patriots.
