Analysts Expect Bengals Win Over Falcons in Madrid

Joe Burrow and the 5-2 Cincinnati Bengals head into their Madrid matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on a three-game winning streak, during which Burrow has thrown 13 touchdown passes. He leads the NFL with 20 touchdown passes and is completing 73% of his throws, while Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins give Cincinnati a formidable passing attack. Most national analysts favor the Bengals, with ESPN’s Football Power Index giving Cincinnati a 77.3% chance to win, though concerns include Atlanta’s ability to pressure quarterbacks and injuries in Cincinnati’s defense. Burrow has cautioned that the Bengals have more to prove before they merit Super Bowl-contender status, despite saying the team has the talent to get there.
