In 60 days the Broncos will kick off the 2012 regular season when the Pittsburgh Steelers visit Denver on Sunday Night Football.  To help Bronco Country get through the offseason, I am continuing to look back at some past games against opponents the Broncos will face in 2012.  After appearing on Sunday Night Football in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints, the Broncos will once again pack their suitcases.  The fourth road trip of the season will take the Broncos to Cincinnati to face the Bengals.  The Broncos have played in Cincinnati a total of twelve times and have won six of those contests.  Let’s hope after the 2012 game in Cincinnati the Broncos will have a winning record when it comes to playing the Bengals on the road.  Please continue reading for a brief summary of the last five games the Broncos have played in Cincinnati.

Terrell Davis belongs in the Hall of Fame. (Sports Illustrated)

When the Pro Football Hall of Fame released its list of 2011 finalists earlier this month, one name in particular was missing once again. For the fifth time, Terrell Davis failed to advance beyond the semi-finalist stage of Hall of Fame consideration. There are many deserving men who have yet to hear their name called for enshrinement, but the buzz around the league for the inclusion of Terrell Davis does not seem to be nearly loud enough.

The California native who became a Broncos legend in the late-1990’s accomplished just about everything an NFL player could hope for during his seven seasons, three of which were injury plagued after sustaining a serious knee injury during the 1999 campaign. Davis is one of only 7 running backs to win a Super Bowl MVP award, one of only 15 to win the Associated Press MVP award, and one of only 6 to rush for over 2000 yards in a single season. If you consider the rushing title Davis won in 1998, he is the only running back in the history of the NFL to attain all four honors.
