The NFL announced that the Bengals’ Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns, originally scheduled for Thursday, December 19, will now take place on Sunday, December 22 and begin at 1 p.m. on FOX.
Game 2 of the Battle of Ohio will also be the Bengals’ annual Stripe The Jungle game. Fans are encouraged to check out the Stripe The Jungle map to see what color their section members will wear for the game to bring the Bengals stripe design to life.
The Bengals’ first Stripe The Jungle game took place last season on November 5 against the Buffalo Bills. Cincinnati came away with a 24-18 victory over Buffalo and will look to remain undefeated in Stripe The Jungle matches on December 22.
Cincinnati won its opener against the Browns 21-14 in Week 7 in Cleveland and looks to sweep the season series for the first time since 2017.
Limited tickets remain for the game and can be purchased here. To prepare for the game, fans can visit the Bengals Pro Shop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
