Real Madrid Hosts Falcons, Home of World Champion Welcomes Bengals Ahead of NFL Game in Madrid

Joe Burrow and Cincinnati bring a 36.3-point scoring average into the NFL’s second game in Spain.

  • The Cincinnati Bengals departed for Madrid, Spain, on Tuesday to prepare for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, with head coach Zac Taylor adjusting the travel schedule for faster acclimation.
  • Taylor cited lessons from previous international trips, particularly the Los Angeles Rams' 27-7 loss in Melbourne, Australia, arriving just over 24 hours before kickoff, as motivation to avoid jet lag complications.
  • The team will practice at the Spanish National Team Training Facility through Friday before Sunday's kickoff at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where organizers expect "mint" field conditions for approximately 80,000 fans.
  • A tribute to victims of a high-speed train collision that killed 69 people last week will occur during the game, while Colombian music star Manuel Turizo performs at halftime.
  • Expanding "Who Dey Nation" to European fans remains a secondary goal before the Bengals return to Cincinnati for a pivotal matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, currently tied atop the AFC North.
