All this waiting, all this waiting. Now, no more waiting. The NFL released the 2010 schedule on Tuesday. A few things to note. The Bengals have three prime time games -- one on Monday Night Football hosting the Steelers, one on Thursday Night Football in New York against the Jets and one on Sunday Night Football hosting the San Diego Chargers.
Other Notes:
- Three of the final four games of the season are against division opponents.
- Three of the season's first four games are on the road.
- The team's November 25 game against the New York Jets on the NFL Network is a Thanksgiving game.
