Cincinnati brings a three-game winning run and a top-six power ranking into Sunday’s matchup with Atlanta at the Santiago Bernabéu.
At 5-2 and sixth in the power index, Cincinnati has a sharp edge over the 3-5 Falcons, ranked 21st, and arrives on a three-game winning streak. The Bengals’ offense is averaging 29.4 points per game, with Joe Burrow throwing 20 touchdown passes, while Atlanta has managed 21.4 points per game and is converting only 33.3% of third downs. Bijan Robinson’s 780 rushing yards give Atlanta a potential path to control the game against a Bengals defense allowing 122.3 rushing yards per game. Cincinnati converts 52.9% of third downs, so the matchup may turn on whether Atlanta can slow Burrow and keep the Bengals’ offense off the field; kickoff is Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET in Madrid.
