No one wants any NFL games to be played without fans, but a fan-free start would not be the worst thing in the world for the Cincinnati Bengals.

The only certainty in regards to the upcoming NFL season is that if it happens with the ongoing pandemic, no one knows exactly what it will look like. Right now, any scenario is speculative.

However, one idea being floated is starting the season without fans in attendance, then trickling them in as the season wears on.

For the sake of argument, let’s say the league goes fan-free for the first month of the year.
