History: New Orleans Saints vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Saints and Bengals are tied in the series with 7 wins for each team. The last meeting between the two franchises occurred in 2018 where the Saints won 51-14 in Cincinnati. Since 2002, the two teams have been seeing each other every four years, but this will be the first time the Saints will face a Joe Burrow-led team. Burrow led the Bengals to a Cinderella-like Super Bowl run in the 2021-2022 season before being taken down by the Los Angeles Rams in the big game. This will mark a homecoming for Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, a former Louisiana State University standout and the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner and receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who was a standout at Archbishop Rummel High School and LSU and the 2021 Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
