The Cincinnati Bengals face the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes Benz Stadium in their second preseason game before the 2023 NFL season.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow did not travel to Atlanta with the team. He did, however, do a full pregame warmup last week before the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.
Former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder will start for the Falcons and former Bengals safety Jessie Bates is in his first season with Atlanta after leaving Cincinnati as a free agent.
The Falcons are 6.
