Robinson's Drought: Falcons Seek Spark in Madrid
8 Nov
Summary
- Falcons face Bengals in Madrid, seeking a win and offensive spark.
- Bijan Robinson has been in a touchdown drought for four straight games.
- The Falcons' offense was shut out in their last game against Tampa Bay.
The Atlanta Falcons are set to play the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid this Sunday, aiming to improve their record and perform well internationally. A key focus will be on running back Bijan Robinson, who has experienced a touchdown drought over the past month. This period has seen the Falcons win only one of their last four games.
The team is coming off a significant 16-0 shutout loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where the offense, including Robinson, was unable to score. Robinson's last touchdown was in Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints, a game where he rushed for 145 yards. Since then, he has averaged 71.5 rushing yards per game but has not reached the end zone.
This international game presents an opportunity for Robinson to break his scoring drought against a Bengals defense that has shown vulnerability to the run. The Falcons' earlier season struggles were compounded by quarterback injuries, but Robinson was a consistent scoring threat in the initial weeks. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET.
