The Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing live on the NFL preseason schedule in Week 2 and the Monday night football matchup is on TV from ESPN and streaming from the WatchESPN website at 8 pm ET from Raymond James Stadium as Jameis Winston, AJ Green, Andy Dalton, Jeremy Hill, Doug Martin and Mike Evans get in action.
The Buccaneers have Winston playing in his second game and he comes after scoring a TD in the first preseason game for the Bucs. The Bengals will have Darqueze Dennard, Andre Smith and Pat Sims out for the matchup and they come in after a win against the Giants. The team has the Buccaneers now and they will play the Chicago Bears next before a game against the Colts to end the preseason.
The Bengals actually have three games over the next 10 days and that could be a very tough stretch for the team. It also means that it's unlikely that the starters will play too much in any of those games, as the team wants to make sure those players stay healthy and fresh into the season. AJ McCarron could be used a lot more than Andy Dalton and that could be very helpful as he tries to make an impact in Cincy even as the backup QB. The schedule picks up after the preseason with two of three games on the road to start the season, including in Oakland and Baltimore.
The team plays against the Raiders, Chargers, Ravens and Chiefs to open the season and then the Bengals play the Seahawks in Cincy. The Bengals will play next on the road against the Bills and then against the Steelers on the road before matchups with the Browns and Texans. The Bengals have the Cardinals next and then the Rams, Browns and Steelers are next on the schedule. The Bengals end the season with the 49ers, Broncos and Ravens.
The Buccaneers have the Bengals, Browns and Dolphins in the preseason left and then the team has the Titans to open the regular season. The Saints and Texans are next on the road and then the Bucs have the Panthers and the Jaguars. The Redskins and the Falcons are on the road next and then the Giants, Cowboys and Eagles are on the schedule.
