Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow expressed disappointment over the 2025 schedule, noting he wanted an overseas game and to avoid another prime-time matchup against the Ravens in Baltimore, which will be the fourth consecutive year. NFL V.P. Mike North acknowledged Burrow’s concerns, particularly the scheduling of a third straight short-week trip to Baltimore for a Thanksgiving night game, which he would change if possible. Despite the scheduling issues, North emphasized the rivalry’s need for a primetime game and remarked on the excitement for Bengals fans to disrupt Baltimore’s Thanksgiving.
