The 2017 list of opponents for the Cincinnati Bengals was finalized over the weekend when the final two pieces locked into place.

The Bengals, who will finish in third place in the AFC North Division, will travel to Denver (third in AFC West) and play host to Buffalo (third in AFC East) next year.

The other 14 opponents have been known for a while. In addition to the standard home-away contests against AFC North opponents Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, the Bengals will face the AFC South and NFC North.

AFC South foes Houston and Indianapolis will visit Paul Brown Stadium, while the Bengals will play road games at Tennessee and Jacksonville.

The run through the NFC North includes trips to Minnesota and Green Bay, while Chicago and Detroit will visit Cincinnati.

Dates and times will not be announced until the NFL releases the full schedule in April.
