Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow addressed reporters at a press conference on Friday ahead of the team's 2026 NFL international game against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. The contest marks Burrow's first appearance in an NFL regular-season game played outside the United States.
"Means a lot" being here, Burrow said, reflecting on the opportunity to showcase the league in Spain. The game is part of the NFL's ongoing international series, which has expanded to include Madrid as a new host city for the 2026 season.
The Bengals and Falcons are scheduled to face off at a Madrid venue, with the league aiming to grow its global footprint. Burrow, a former No. 1 overall pick and Pro Bowl selection, has led Cincinnati to multiple playoff appearances since entering the league in 2020.
