After a franchise record 57-home game sellout streak was snapped in November of 2010, the Bengals have struggled to sellout since, and had two blackouts in 2012.

Bengals fans fell victim to blackouts in six of Cincinnati’s eight home games in 2011, and four in 2010. That makes 12 out of 24 games (50%) over the past three years have been blacked out, despite the team making back-to-back postseason trips. Let’s help end that trend this year.

Get Bengals at Texans Playoff Tickets Through TIQ

Jason — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:51:08 +0000

This year’s NFL Playoffs won’t be without excitement and hype. It won’t be without some serious deja vu, either. Andy Dalton and his Cincinnati Bengals earned a second straight trip to post-season play this year, only to see the Houston Texans in the first round of the playoffs once again. After Houston handled Cincinnati easily in a 31-10 win last year, the Bengals arguably could have their work cut out for them to make this one close.

That’d be the logic if these were the same two teams facing off again, at least. In reality, Matt Schaub is healthy this time around, and is actually making his first career playoff start against the Bengals. Houston’s once vaunted defense has turned to Swiss cheese in the secondary, and Cincy’s defense has been borderline elite in the second half of the season.

With this game slated to be much more competitive than last year’s meeting, it’s kind of surprising that Bengals @ Texans tickets come in averaging just $299/seat, with a get-in price of $110. That’s actually 5% cheaper than the average price for Houston Texans tickets this season. Currently, this matchup comes in as the second most expensive wild card game of the opening playoff weekend (second only behind the Washington/Seattle game). And as expected, due to both teams improving on what they were last year, this game’s ticket price is jumped up 20.03% from last year’s wild card duel. However, with prices falling 50% in the last week so it seems that Texans fans aren’t that excited with the matchup.

On paper, the Texans should be poised for another rout. Andy Dalton doesn’t handle top defenses very well, and Arian Foster and Andre Johnson out-rank A.J. Green and BenJarvus Green-Ellis as a unit. But this game isn’t really about matchups. It’s about whether or not Matt Schaub has the goods to get it done in his first playoff game, combined with whether or not Andy Dalton can avoid the same mistakes that crushed the Bengals the last time these two teams met. It should be an evenly matched game for the most part, and could ultimately come down to who makes one less mistake.

Don’t Miss Bengals vs. Cowboys with help from TIQ

The Cincinnati Bengals march into a crucial week 14 showdown with the Dallas Cowboys riding a four-game winning streak and the AFC North still in play. While the Cowboys are an inconsistent bunch at 6-6, their talent still poses a massive threat at home. However, if Andy Dalton and co. can keep building on their momentum, they could easily be sitting at 8-5 at the end of the week. And if all goes well and Baltimore falls to the Redskins, they could be a mere game behind the Ravens, with a week 17 date with Baltimore looming.

Clearly this one comes with a lot of baggage and hype on both sides, so it’s no surprise that it’s Cincy’s most expensive home game. Oddly enough, despite the severity of this game, this is actually the Cowboys’ cheapest game of 2012. After dropping 9% this week, the average price for Bengals vs Cowboys tickets is down to $149/seat, 42% above the average price of Cincinnati Bengals tickets this season. On the low end, fans that want to be there in person on Sunday can get in to Paul Brown Stadium for as low as of $52.

In a season of streaks that saw the Bengals win three, drop four, and win the past four, week 14 will play a critical role in deciding exactly what kind of team this year’s version of the Bengals truly is. The fact that it comes against a desperate Dallas team with their season hanging in the balance only adds to the build up. Tony Romo and the Cowboys are a legitimate threat to Cincy’s playoff chances, but will be another solid piece to their 2012 resume if they can take care of business as they’ve done the past several weeks.
