The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Glenn Adams of Stripe Hype argues that the Cincinnati Bengals continue to struggle defending opposing tight ends ahead of their international matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, Spain. Despite defeating the Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati conceded 112 receiving yards on eight catches to Titans tight ends, including career highs for Gunnar Helm.

Adams cautions that Atlanta's tight end group poses a significant threat, noting that Michael Penix Jr. successfully targeted Kyle Pitts, Austin Hooper, Charlie Woerner, and Nick Muse for two touchdowns in an upset over the San Francisco 49ers. The writer contends that defensive coordinator Al Golden must focus on containing the position rather than expecting a total shutdown.
