Thursday Night Football

Powered by Reelgood

NFL preseason action continues tonight with not one but two Thursday night matchups.

The first is a battle of AFC Super Bowl hopefuls as the Cincinnati Bengals host the Indianapolis Colts, two teams with similar 23-24 seasons. Both squads had to play through quarterback injuries (Joe Burrow and Anthony Richardson) and ended the year with matching 9-8 records.

Game two features the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, hosting the new-look Chicago Bears. Matt Eberflus and Caleb Williams hope to usher in a new era for the Bears, while Patrick Mahomes and company are looking to return to their fifth Super Bowl in six years.
