That’s according to Bleacher Report’s NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, who shared that the game will be played in San Francisco on October 20 (Week 7). The Bengals, with Burrow as their quarterback again following a season-ending wrist injury, will travel to play at Kansas City in a late-afternoon outing on Sept. 15. The matchup follows the league’s announcement on Monday of the Chiefs opening the NFL schedule hosting the Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5 in a rematch of last season’s AFC title game.
The meeting against the Bengals brings together two teams who met in consecutive AFC championships, with Cincinnati winning in 2021 and the Chiefs winning the following season.
The NFL is releasing highlighted portions of its schedule in advance of the league revealing its full slate of games on Wednesday night.
