Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn asked and in turn she received the club’s first Paul Brown Stadium opener in the seven seasons of the A.J. Green-Andy Dalton Era.
The Bengals kick off their 50th anniversary season with not one but back-to-back home games to start the year for the first time since 1983 when the NFL released a schedule Thursday that features AFC North rival Baltimore at PBS on Sept. 10 to be followed quickly by the Texans in town on Sept. 14 for a Thursday night 8:25 NFL Network game.
For the first time ever, the Bengals are launching single-game ticket sales for the opener simultaneously with the schedule release and are available now at Bengals.
