TAMPA, Fla. -- The NFL released the preseason schedule on Monday. Dates and times haven’t been announced, but here’s a first look at the opponents for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Week 1 (Aug. 10-14) at Cincinnati Bengals
Comment: For the second-straight year, the Bucs will start the preseason on the road due to renovations at Raymond James Stadium. They'll face the Cincinnati Bengals, reuniting Dirk Koetter and Marvin Lewis, who have been friends for over 30 years, since their days together at Idaho State. While the Bengals suffered a drop-off last season, they're typically one of the most physical defenses in the league.
