Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow addressed the media Friday ahead of the team's 2026 NFL regular-season game against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, calling the opportunity to play internationally significant. Speaking at a press conference in the Spanish capital, Burrow said the experience "means a lot" as the league continues its global expansion. The matchup marks the Bengals' first appearance in the NFL's International Series and the first NFL game held in Madrid.
