The Denver Broncos trail the Cincinnati Bengals 13-7 going into the half. I evaluate the first half of the game and give my two cents.
Broncos Country has not seen a win since October 1st. After the first 30 minutes of the game, it looks as if it will be even longer until they move the number of wins from three to four. Once again, turnovers are really causing issues for the Broncos.
Denver was driving and was inside the ten. That is where Brock Osweiler pulled a Super Bowl 49 Russell Wilson and threw it. Sure enough, Cincinnati intercepted the football. They would return it for the longest non-scoring play in NFL history.
Had Dre Kirkpatrick not fumbled the football, it would have certainly become a pick six. The interception would lead to the first points of the game. Randy Bullock would miss the extra point. Kickers man.
But Denver responded with a touchdown of their own. That would give them a 7-6 lead. However, just as soon as the Broncos got the lead, they lost it. Bradley Roby got beat badly and Alex Erickson scored on a 29 yard touchdown reception.

Shaquil Barrett did record a blocked punt. That was perhaps the most entertaining moment from special teams this season.
One thing that the Denver Broncos need to focus in on is running the ball and limiting the turnovers. Had Kirkpatrick not intercepted the football, we would be looking at a 7-7 tie. And the defense needs some tuning right now.

This game is winnable. As long as this team can focus in and get some plays to go their way, then they should get some things going their way. And please Brock Osweiler. Do not make any plays that could cost this team.
The Cincinnati Bengals will get the football to start the second half. Hopefully the Broncos can come out with a win and end this disgusting losing streak. Go Broncos!
