Week 1: at Cleveland Browns
The Bengals opened the season on the road with an AFC North matchup against the in-state rival Cleveland Browns, marking the 100th meeting between the two franchises. The Browns defense dominated the game, forcing ten Cincinnati punts including seven three-and-outs, and limiting the Bengals offense to six first downs. Quarterback Joe Burrow was limited to a career-low 82 passing yards. Joe Mixon led the Bengals' rushing attack with 13 carries for 56 yards. Defensively, the Bengals allowed Quarterback Deshaun Watson 154 passing yards, 45 rushing yards, a passing touchdown, and a rushing touchdown, a 55.2% completion percentage and one interception, and Nick Chubb's 106 rushing yards on 18 carries. Kicker Dustin Hopkins converted all three of his field goal attempts. The Bengals' lone score came on an Evan McPherson field goal, as he failed to connect on his second field goal attempt. With the loss, the Bengals opened the season 0–1 for the second consecutive year. Week 2: vs. Baltimore Ravens

The Bengals were upset at home against their division rival. With their second straight loss, the Bengals dropped to 0-2 for the second straight season. They were the only AFC North team without any victories following their game. Week 3: vs. Los Angeles Rams

In a rematch of Super Bowl LVI, the Bengals got revenge on the Rams, winning the game to get their first victory of the regular season. Week 4: at Tennessee Titans
