Do the Bengals still bring in a veteran? Kyle Van Noy? Bobby Wagner? Have they done enough to make it to the playoffs and make some noise? Burrow turns 30 this year. It's time to shine.

No excuses.

It was nice to watch the Bengals practice this afternoon on their practice field during their mini camp. Football just right around the corner!

Good for you. I am sure it was fun.

You didn't wear your Steelers gear did you?

Does your host know how much Steelers trash you like to talk?

Ah ... well, that wasn't much of a watch but glad you enjoyed it. 

I don't know about the rest of you but I am fine with NFL games on Saturday.  Now depending on what college games are on, all NFL games beyond the Bengals/really good games may take a back seat to any college games involving playoff or potential playoff teams.

Hmmm...one of the away games.  Atlanta might have been one of the games that I would have considered for a road trip.  Madrid - not so much.

The Bengals have been selected to play the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, Spain as part of the NFL’s 2026 International Games. The game will take place on Sunday, Nov. 8 at Bernabéu Stadium and will air on NFL Network. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Eastern.

This will be the third time the Bengals have played internationally and their first time in Madrid. The team previously played in London in 2016 and 2019. Madrid hosted its first NFL game last season as the league continues to strengthen its presence in Spain and focus on international growth. Bernabéu Stadium established itself as a key venue for the NFL in Europe and is one of the most recognizable stadiums in the world.

“We are excited to take the Bengals abroad again and build upon the incredible support of our global fanbase and help the league continue to grow the game of football across the world,” said Bengals Director of Strategy and Engagement Elizabeth Blackburn. “This Madrid game is a special opportunity to showcase the passion, energy and community that define the Bengals’ fandom worldwide.”

General ticket on‑sale information will be confirmed at a later date. Fans can find ticketing information for all international games at nfl.com/internationalgames.

The Bengals’ full schedule will be released on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.
