Okay, so, I’m a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan, right? And, like, there’s this big game, Bengals vs. Steelers, a total classic. I needed to watch it live, no doubt about it.
First, I checked if I could watch it on regular TV. Turns out, the game was gonna be on ABC and ESPN. Sweet!
But here’s the thing, I don’t have cable. Yeah, I’m one of those cord-cutters. So, I had to figure out how to stream it. I thought about maybe trying one of those live TV streaming services. I found out that something called DIRECTV Stream gives you a five-day free trial.
I also saw that you can stream the game on ESPN+ and NFL+.
- Started the search: I fired up my laptop and started looking for ways to watch the Bengals game online. I saw somewhere that ABC, ESPN, FOX, NBC, CBS, and Prime Video are the places to find most games live during the regular season.
- Checked the game schedule: I went online and searched for the Bengals’ schedule. Found out it was a Saturday night game – even better!
- Checked broadcast details: I quickly learned that the Bengals-Steelers game was going to be on both ABC and ESPN. Good, more options.
- Found some streaming services: DIRECTV Stream with that free trial looked like a pretty good option.
The game started, and guess what? Ja’Marr Chase scored on the opening drive! Burrow, the Bengals’ QB, was on fire, completed six out of six passes. And three of those were to Chase, including a touchdown pass!
In the end, I got to see the game. It was a Saturday night game, which was pretty cool. They called it an “AFC North classic” or something. And there were even some betting odds, updated like, right before the game.
So yeah, that’s how I managed to watch the Cincinnati Bengals game live. It wasn’t too hard, just had to do a bit of digging around online. Go Bengals!
