The Cincinnati Bengals are in talks for a potential primetime matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thanksgiving night, which could be a major highlight for the NFL in 2025. Bengals.com reporter Geoff Hobson discussed possibilities with NFL vice president Mike North, hinting that such a game is a viable option, especially as the team aims for a more prominent holiday presence during the Joe Burrow era.

With aspirations to also become a fixture for the new Black Friday games and an international appearance in Dublin or Madrid, the 2025 season might bring exciting opportunities for the Bengals. Expect them to feature in about five non-1 p.m. ET kickoffs, reflecting their growing significance in the NFL landscape.
