Joe Burrow’s MVP momentum surged in Madrid as Ja’Marr Chase dominated the perimeter, fueling a high-octane offensive masterclass that cemented Cincinnati’s playmakers as the NFL’s premier unit.

The Cincinnati Bengals' offense torched the Atlanta Falcons in Spain on Sunday morning, totaling 388 yards and four touchdowns, with two going to Tee Higgins and one to Ja'Marr Chase. Joe Burrow scored the fourth on a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line.

Here's how Pro Football Focus graded some of the Bengals' top performers.

Burrow accounted for four touchdowns, marking the fourth straight game he has accounted for four or more. He also threw for 271 yards, completing 24 of 29 passes as his MVP campaign continues.

Burrow had an 84.6 offense grade, with an 83.0 passing grade. He has a 93.7 offense grade this season, with his lowest single-game mark coming in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a 66.2 overall grade. Burrow is the highest-graded quarterback this season and the only quarterback with at least 300 snaps above a 90 offense grade.

Ja'Marr Chase

Chase had his second straight game with more than 100 yards, catching 10 of 12 targets for 155 yards and a touchdown. It is the first time in his career that Chase has posted back-to-back games of 140 yards or more, quieting those concerned about his slow start to the season.

Chase was the Bengals' highest-graded player, with a 92.6 offense grade and a 92.1 receiving grade. Chase and Higgins' performance in Madrid sealed their status as the best receiving duo in the NFL, and they are on pace for one of the best seasons by a wide receiver duo in NFL history.

Amarius Mims

Mims has developed into one of the best tackles in football. His 81.2 pass-blocking grade ranks 11th among tackles, and his 70.8 offense grade ranks 23rd.

He posted a 79.3 offense grade against Atlanta and had an eye-popping 89.4 run-blocking grade, helping Chase Brown and Samaje Perine succeed.

Dalton Risner

Higgins had a higher grade than Risner, but adding Risner before the 2025 season has been one of the better moves the Bengals' front office has made in a long time, and for the low price the team paid, he has become a top-20 guard in all of football, according to PFF.

Risner has the third-best pass-blocking grade among guards with at least 500 snaps and the sixth-best overall offense grade among that same group this season. He ranks eighth in run blocking.

Risner had a 69.5 grade against the Falcons continuing his great season for the Bengals.
