Osweiler has displayed a cool head in place of Manning

The Bengals looked like they would run away with Monday night’s game after scoring consecutive touchdowns on long drives to open the game, according to SBNation article.

Standouts: After falling behind early to the Bengals, the Broncos regrouped to stymie Cincinnati’s offense and to put two touchdowns on the board in the second half to come back before winning the game in overtime.

Denver didn’t get on the scoreboard until McManus kicked a 23-yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

When the football launched off Brandon McManus’ foot – as time in regulation expired, with a Broncos playoff berth on the line – it hooked so far left that, many reasoned, it must have been tipped by an opposing player.

“It was my fault”. I told (center) Russ (Bodine) I looked up to see the coverage and the snap caught me by surprise. “It felt great to finish the game that way”. They drove down the field, but the game should have ended one play before it did.

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus (8) kicks a field goal in overtime as punter Britton Colquitt (4) holds during an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Monday, Dec. 28, 2015, in Denver. “I just wrapped my toe around it and I knew I had to bounce back”.

The loss probably knocks Cincinnati out of a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs. The Broncos would be in jeopardy of losing the AFC West if the Chiefs win; Denver would also be the 6th seed if the Jets defeat the Bills.

“First off, getting into the playoffs in the National Football League is a hell of an accomplishment”. Kubiak said WR Cody Latimer was deactivated against the Bengals because he was ill….

High stakes and the Broncos want Osweiler to play it. In his six starts, Osweiler has led the Broncos to a 4-2 record while throwing 8 touchdown passes against just 3 interceptions while averaging 265 passing yards a game. The Chargers mounted a game-tying drive in regulation, but Oakland came out of the game with a win after San Diego couldn’t get a first down on their overtime possession. It’s going to be very tough on us physically. “Let’s go to the two minute, Brock will handle them”. “They played well in the second half”. If you’re taking a snap against them, you better be damn sure you’re ready to receive the ball.

The NFL playoffs don’t start for another 10 days but the the Cincinnati Bengals’ championship hopes may have already crashed and burned on the on-ramp to the road to the Super Bowl.

McCarron, making his second start, finished the first half 12-of-17 for 119 yards and a 109.7 quarterback rating.

McCarron’s performance in the opening half was enough to reassure Cincinnati that it can still win in the playoffs if Dalton’s unavailable. I think that composure is really about the course of the game.

The Broncos sleepwalked through the first half, controlling the ball for only eight of the first 30 minutes, gaining only 80 yards of offence.

And then, after the half, Denver got things together on both sides of the ball. “There were a lot of things we wish we could’ve had back”. “We focused on our jobs, one play at a time, and we were able to march down the field”. They can even get the No. 1 seed if they win and the Patriots lose to the Dolphins.
