Patriots vs Bengals: How to watch

The New England Patriots finished last season with a 4-13 regular-season record, one of the worst in the league. As a result, they earned the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. The Patriots used the pick to draft Drake Maye. Maye starts the season on the bench as new Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo eases him into NFL action behind veteran Jacoby Brissett.

The Cincinnati Bengals ended the 2023 season out of the playoffs. They dealt with numerous injuries, with star quarterback Joe Burrow ruled out for seven games. Burrow starts this season fully fit and looks poised to guide the Bengals on another playoff push. But first, they'll need to overcome a visiting Patriots squad.
