The Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons will be featured in the NFL’s second-ever regular-season matchup in Madrid, with kickoff set for 9:30 a.m. ET at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

The Bengals (5-2) find themselves in second place in the AFC North as quarterback Joe Burrow continues to play at an MVP level. After the Tennessee Titans nearly upset them in overtime in Week 8, however, the Bengals have plenty to clean up. Burrow threw five touchdown passes but added three picks to the mix, all three of which went to safety Amani Hooker.

The Falcons are sitting on the wrong side of .500 at 3-5, coming off a disastrous performance from Michael Penix Jr. He threw a career-high four interceptions, completing just 33.3% of pass attempts for 125 yards and no touchdowns in a 16-0 shutout loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8. Atlanta might not find as much relief as it would like to against the Bengals in Week 9, either; Cincinnati’s defense has been productive in the turnover department this year, forcing a turnover on 14.7% of opposing drives, fifth-best in the NFL.
