The Cincinnati Bengals schedule is filled with little ups-and-downs for the team in 2025.
Primetime is a good example. The Bengals get four games under the national spotlight...but three of them are on the road. They have to once again travel to Baltimore on a short week for a Thursday game, a point so jarring that an NFL schedule-maker had to comment on it.
But the Bengals also travel the fewest miles of any team on the schedule. And as another positive point, schedule-makers gave the team a little gift that could help them overcome the Zac Taylor-era slow starts.
So, without an international game on the slate, which games require the farthest travel for the Bengals?

Fittingly, they're two key AFC contests. One is the Week 4 road game against the Denver Broncos -- but the Bengals get an extra day of rest to sort that out because it's a Monday night game.
The other is the trip to play the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. Again, not so bad, though -- that's a late kickoff on a Sunday night and in the same timezone, among other things.
As a whole, the two biggest roadtrips being quickish flights to Denver and Miami isn't so bad. It's just another one of those little quirks on the schedule that will make it hard to excuse the Bengals if they don't capitalize and rebound in 2025.
