**Cincinnati, OH** – The Cincinnati Bengals will once again be playing a regular season game on a Saturday, marking their third consecutive year with a Saturday matchup. The team announced Tuesday that their Week 17 contest against the Denver Broncos has been flexed to Saturday, December 28th, at 4:30 p.m. ET.

This game holds significant playoff implications for the Bengals, who are currently on a two-game winning streak but still face long odds. With a 5% chance of making the playoffs according to NFL.com, Cincinnati needs to win their remaining three games – against the Cleveland Browns, Denver, and the Pittsburgh Steelers – and receive favorable results from other teams. The Broncos currently hold the AFC’s sixth seed.

The Bengals’ game against Denver will be the centerpiece of a Saturday triple-header on NFL Network, sandwiched between the Chargers-Patriots game (1 p.m. ET) and the Cardinals-Rams game (8 p.m. ET). The high-stakes matchup represents a crucial opportunity for Cincinnati to salvage their season and secure a postseason berth.
