In this story:

Joe Burrow and the high-powered Bengals offense ripped open the back end of the Falcons' defense to start their offensive action in Spain.

Burrow tossed his 21st touchdown of the season on a 47-yard strike to Ja'Marr Chase. It tied things up at 7-7 in what could be a big-time shootout across the pond.

Cincinnati's top players said they wanted to put on a show today, and we got it to start.

"I love being the only game on TV on Sunday morning when people back home wake up, and I love showcasing our talents abroad and trying to bring attention to what we do, as far as what our offense brings. I think we're explosive, we're dynamic, we're fun to watch, and I think we're going to put on a show on Sunday," Burrow said this week.

The Bengals scored in just five plays, while the Falcons only took seven plays to find the end zone on their opening possession. The state-of-the-art field is producing some big plays to start things out in Spain.
