MADRID (WXIX) - The Cincinnati Bengals will hold their first practice in Spain Thursday morning ahead of their Week 9 international matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Bengals arrived in Madrid Wednesday morning after an eight-hour flight.
This gives the team several days to adjust to the six-hour time difference before Sunday’s kickoff at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
The contest marks the NFL’s first regular-season game held in Spain.
Sports anchors Joe Danneman and Jeremy Rauch are traveling with the team in Madrid and are reporting live daily.
Kickoff between the Bengals and Falcons is scheduled for Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET.
