The NFL International Series resumes this week in Madrid, Spain, with a battle of two teams looking to make a push for the playoffs in the second half of the season.
The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the hottest teams in the NFL, having won three straight games by scoring a combined 99 points. Quarterback Joe Burrow is playing at an elite level, leading a dynamic offense while Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins shine as well.
On defense, the Bengals started strong but have dipped a bit lately, as the unit allowed a season-worst 36 points to the Tennessee Titans last week. Overall, though, the defense is much improved from last year, with new defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence making a significant difference.

On the other side of the field is the Atlanta Falcons, who have lost three of their last four games and are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite allowing no passing yards. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. struggled in the rain, throwing four interceptions in the process.
The Falcons are still very much alive in the NFC South race thanks to every team in the division being under .500. A win this week would go a long way in the Falcons making the playoffs and hosting a playoff game.
