What TV channel is Bengals-Rams on tonight? Live stream, how to watch online, time
The Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals meet Monday, Sept. 25, in a Super Bowl rematch. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), SlingTV (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).
The last thing Joe Burrow saw in Super Bowl 56 was Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald slinging him to the ground.
Donald made it look too easy, charging around blockers, wrapping up the Cincinnati quarterback and throwing him down on fourth-and-1 as Burrow tossed an errant desperation pass.
Burrow didn’t have enough time to spy receiver Ja’Marr Chase running open down the right sideline. That sealed a 23-20 win for the Rams in the game 19 months ago.
The matchup between the Rams and Bengals in Cincinnati on Monday night will be their first rematch in a regular-season game since that Super Bowl.
What’s not known is whether a lingering calf injury will keep Burrow from playing — or how it will affect his mobility if he does play.
The team listed him as questionable for the game.
Burrow insisted he didn’t think too much about the Super Bowl loss when he saw the Rams on the 2023 schedule.
He downplayed the revenge angle, saying he’s got nothing more on his mind other than trying to keep the 0-2 Bengals from digging a deeper hole.
The Bengals and Rams actually have a more recent history than that Super Bowl. The Rams came to Cincinnati for a preseason game in 2022. The teams had a joint practice that was cut short because of a major brawl in which Donald swung a helmet at Bengals players. The teams played it down, and the exhibition game went off without incident.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams meet at 7:15 p.m. (8:15 p.m. ET) on Monday, Sept. 25.
