If you're up early, the Bengals and Falcons play at Madrid's . Kickoff is 9:30 a.m. ET (3:30 p.m. local) on NFL Network and WLWT, channel 5.

It's the Bengals' third international game, and their first outside the United Kingdom. "It means a lot to me that we're here," Joe Burrow said. He also loves "being the only game on TV on Sunday morning, when people back home wake up."

Burrow leads the NFL in three passing categories

73.0
completion percentage, tops in the NFL
20
passing touchdowns, tops in the NFL
302.1
passing yards per game, tops in the NFL
  • Burrow: at least four touchdown passes in each of the last three games
  • Gesicki: touchdown catch in five straight games, a Bengals tight end record
  • Robinson: Falcons back leads the NFL with 780 rushing yards
  • Next: Steelers Sunday night, then Commanders Monday night

Dexter Lawrence II calls Bijan Robinson "probably the best back in the league." Burrow and Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. arrive after dramatically different lead-in games, and the Bengals practiced in Madrid on Friday.

The Bengals' next games each get a single-game window
