The Cincinnati Bengals won’t have a ton of viewers for their Week 6 game against the Detroit Lions.
This cross-conference battle was never going to see a ton of national eyeballs in the early timeslot of this week. Not only does Green Bay play Chicago in the same timeslot, CBS early games include Kansas City-Washington and Baltimore-LA Chargers.
As such, the Bengals are once again on Fox, this time with a tiny, tiny bit of orange representing where the game will actually broadcast on television.
It’s not too much of a shocker the Bengals take a backseat this week compared to prior weeks, primarily because these Lions have yet to win a game and don’t carry the longest-running tally of success or national attention, either.
