Grading the Bengals: Report Card vs. Denver
“Felt great to finish the game that way”, Ware said.

When Osweiler starts Sunday against the San Diego Chargers in a game the Broncos most likely will have to win to capture their fifth consecutive AFC West title and fourth consecutive first-round playoff bye, it will mean Peyton Manning will not surpass Brett Favre and become the NFL’s all-time winningest quarterback.
Standouts: With a touchdown from running back Donald Brown on the Chargers’ opening drive after the defense intercepted QB Derek Carr, the Chargers jumped out to an early lead.
New England has already clinched one of the top two spots, and will earn home-field advantage throughout with a win over the Dolphins Sunday in Miami or a Denver loss to San Diego. The offenses inability to maintain the football eventually put too much pressure on the defense and they allowed the Broncos to take a lead.
“It was my fault”, said McCarron, who injured his left wrist diving for the loose ball. “The snap caught me a little by surprise”.
The second-year player has been filling in for regular starter Andy Dalton, who broke a bone in his right thumb trying to make a tackle against the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 13.
McManus’ miss from 45 yards at the end of regulation sent the game into the extra session.
That one was just shy of the longest touchdown drive of the season in term of yards, coming up 36 inches shy of a 91-yard march in the first Cleveland game on November 5. The network also said McCarron is intent on playing since the injury is in his non-throwing hand. “It was a hard-fought game”.
“We’re beat up, but our frame of mind is really good”, Kubiak said.
“The second half is going to be different this week”, the Broncos tight end said.
Trailing by 11, the Broncos aired it out to open the third quarter, marching 81 yards largely on the strength of Osweiler’s passing arm.
The Bengals outgained the Broncos 204 to 89 in the first half, but Denver finished the game with a 390 to 294 edge.
Here’s a fact about the Denver Broncos that is not going to change: The offensive line is miserable.
Later in Monday night’s game, Nugent did deliver a 52-yard field goal that brought the game to a 17-all tie before the end of regulation. He avoided traffic. He dodged defensive tackle Wallace Gilberry, outran safety Reggie Nelson, veered past Adam Jones and stepped through linebacker Rey Maualuga’s ankle tackle. McCarron managed to complete only two passes in the third quarter and the Bengals were forced to punt on five out of their six possessions in the second half. While there is hope that Dalton can return this season, Ian Rapoport has reported that it is unlikely that Dalton would be able to play if the Bengals are the 3-seed and have to play in the first round. Sanu’s score, finishing a 90-yard drive, and a 23-yard field goal by McManus set the halftime score, with the Bengals in charge, 14-3. Sanders had a 35-yard reception to the Bengals’ 21, but the drive stalled after a second-down sack of Osweiler by defensive end Carlos Dunlap, leading to the field goal. Starting TE Tyler Eifert remains in concussion protocol.

Booed off their field as they trailed by 11 points, the Broncos exited the bitter cold – at 16 degrees it represented their third-coldest home game – and returned fast and furious.
