This is one of the league's rarer pairings, an AFC North club and an NFC South club that meet only when the conference rotation brings them together, which is why the series is short enough for single games to define it. The two franchises have never met in the postseason. Tampa Bay's history in Cincinnati runs through the 2018 shootout era rather than anything recent, and the 2026 opener was the first meeting at Paycor Stadium in some time.
