Denver Broncos rally to beat Cincinnati Bengals in overtime and reach play-offs
Whether Nugent’s miss before halftime robbed the Bengals of momentum or not, the second half was a different story.

There was a similar scenario on Monday Night Football.
Now, this needs stressing-the Bengals did this without tight end Tyler Eifert, safety George Iloka and Dalton under center.
This should be the last game of the Dan Campbell era, so it’s only fitting he’ll be matching wits with Bill Belichick in what is a must-win game for the Pats.
“It was big for us. We’ll proceed just like we have”.
He pushed the Broncos into field-goal range.
Like Osweiler, Bengals quarterback McCarron is learning on the job after being pushed into duty because of an injury to Andy Dalton. “I am proud of Brock”. If you’re taking a snap against them, you better be damn sure you’re ready to receive the ball.
Kubiak said nothing has changed with the quarterback situation and that he plans to stick with Osweiler. But that was not the goal. “We got the job done, but we have more to do”.
An MRI revealed Tuesday that AJ McCarron has a sprained left wrist, according to multiple media reports, making it unclear whether the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback will be available for the regular-season finale against Baltimore this weekend.
Of course, the Broncos couldn’t make it easy. Denver did not get on the scoreboard until McManus kicked a 23-yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining in the second quarter. “I just wrapped my foot around it”.
The way that they lost in Denver was as disappointing as anything. “I told the team and the offensive guys that”. If Seattle has won, then Minnesota would still play Seattle if they win the North, but Green Bay would host Minnesota again if they are the champ, and Seattle would go to Washington. They did well in the first half with 85 yards on the ground.
ROAD WOES: Cincinnati fell to 3-17 on the road on Monday nights.
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.
When Anderson attended the Nuggets-Los Angeles Lakers game last week, Kobe Bryant acknowledged him.
Key Play: Anderson’s 39-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that gave the Broncos their first lead came courtesy of three missed tackles, the first of which came in the backfield.
This spot is the New England Patriots’ to lose. “You don’t have time to think about the previous play”. His latest moment came with the season tiptoeing toward a ledge. Punter Kevin Huber missed on a couple opportunities to pin Denver deep in its own territory. The Broncos provide accompanying drama. The Bengals took over at their 26-yard line with 4:05 left. (The Colts would still need Denver and Oakland to win). The temperature at kickoff at Sports Authority Field at Mile High was 16 degrees, tying a mark for the third coldest home game in Broncos’ history…. I don’t want the same mistake to happen twice. In altitude, teams get exhausted. “Coming out of the game, I’m a little bit banged up, but that’s football”. As the Bengals started moving the ball at will on Monday, Denver’s defence suddenly stiffened.
There’s not going to be any quarterback controversy in Denver. Osweiler has thrown for 1.735 yards 9 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
Osweiler hurt his elbow on one of Carlos Dunlap’s three sacks. Sanders’ score cut the deficit to 14-10 and returned the absent swagger that this group promised to feature.
The ending sat in stark contrast to the start. He bobbled the ball and the Broncos recovered, giving them the win. They reached the end zone on back-to-back, methodical, soul-crushing drives. He was the team’s second-leading tackler with seven stops before exiting. “We thought we were going to finish it with the field goal but at the end of the game, it’s all about that win”.
It sounds silly, but there’s still time for the Bengals to correct the problematic areas.
McCarron efficiently led the Bengals in the first half as they built a 14-point lead.
The Bengals went 80 yards in 15 plays to open the game, with McCarron hitting A.J. Green for a 5-yard touchdown. At the same time, the Broncos could still tumble to No. 3 if they lose next week against San Diego and the Bengals beat the Ravens. It proved a pattern, not an aberration.
It was the longest touchdown drive of the season in terms of plays. The Broncos possessed the football almost 10 minutes more than Cincinnati.
The outcome hinged on one of the most routine plays in football.

Denver stood in the middle ring, took a shot to the chin, and Osweiler responded with just enough haymakers.
