In this story:

Tee Higgins and the Bengals are rolling against Atlanta in Spain.

The red-hot star receiver scored his second touchdown of the game on Sunday to extend the lead over Atlanta, 31-17. He and Ja'Marr Chase have now split the touchdown tally across the pond as Joe Burrow shreds this Atlanta defense for 258 passing yards and four total scores.

Cincinnati is also running the ball very well, with the ground attack up to 81 yards and 6.2 yards per carry.
