Bengals battle Vikings tonight in 1st Preseason Game

       After all the practice, it's now time to get to the business as the Cincinnati Bengals open up their 2016-17 pre-season at home against the Minnesota Vikings.
   The Bengals have been practicing against the Vikings all week as Vikings coach Mike Zimmer decided to bring his troops to the Nati for some early action.
  With the heat at a blistering pace all week, it's been a grind, but tonight will feature the first action for both teams under the lights.

    Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis was in good spirits heading into the contest.
 
    When asked if he had watched any of the Olympics, he said, " Just the highlights at the end of the night" which features Bob Coastas wrapping up the daily festivities in Rio.

   Practice Thursday was extremely hot, and both teams, and fans, hit the water and gatorades hard.

With the teams playing in the evening, it should be a beautiful night for some football in the Queen City.

  Look for the starters for Cincy to play 1 or 2 series, and that be the night. Dalton looked ready to go during practice and will be fired up to get back on the field.
