The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-17 in Madrid on Sunday, claiming their first-ever NFL regular-season win on international soil.

It didn't start that way. Atlanta struck first, riding Bijan Robinson's legs into the red zone before Michael Penix threw a touchdown pass to put the Falcons ahead on their opening drive. From there, Cincinnati took over and never gave the lead back.

Ja'Marr Chase was the headliner. The Bengals wide receiver turned in an outstanding game, per NBC Sports, powering an offense that hung 34 points on the Falcons in front of the Madrid crowd.

The result extends the NFL's international series into Spain with a decisive finish, and it gives the Bengals a milestone to bank: after years of overseas games across London, Germany and beyond, Cincinnati finally has a win abroad. For Atlanta, a promising opening drive dissolved into a 17-point defeat and a long flight home to regroup.
