The Falcons flew to Madrid, played eleven good minutes in front of 78,660 at the Santiago Bernabeu, and lost 34-17 to a Cincinnati team that never had to do anything clever. Atlanta scored on its opening drive, led 10-7 after a quarter, and was outscored 27-7 from there. Joe Burrow went 24 of 29 for 271 yards and three touchdowns with a 140.1 rating. He was not pressured often enough to matter and he was not wrong often enough to matter either.
Atlanta knew it needed to play its best against Cincinnati's explosive offense. Instead, penalties and defensive miscues kept the Falcons from keeping pace.
