3 things we learned from the Bengals’ fun game against the Falcons
The Bengals' 34-17 victory over the Falcons in Madrid underscores three key takeaways. First, Cincinnati’s offense is now the league’s most potent, averaging 30 points per game with Joe Burrow throwing three TDs, running for another, and staying sack‑free. Second, star receiver Ja’Marr Chase rebounds dramatically, posting back‑to‑back 140‑plus‑yard games after a slow start. Third, the defense, while occasionally lagging early, shows resilience by limiting opponents—holding Bijan Robinson to just 58 yards after an explosive opening.
