Broncos @ Bengals

The Denver Broncos look to get their third straight victory on Sunday when they travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. It looks as if Denver is finally figuring out ways to win. Better late than never, right?

Case Keenum has gone three straight games with throwing an interception after throwing one in every game during weeks 1 through 8.

The bye week really did come just in time. It helped the team start over with a “one game at a time” mindset. The Bengals are going with young quarterback Jeff Driskel due to Andy Dalton’s thumb injury costing him the rest of the season.

Wide receiver AJ Green has been banged up this season but looks to be ready for his matchup with Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr.

It’s going to be one really fun game to watch.

The Broncos look to add on to their winning streak against the 5-6 Bengals.

Jeff Driskel will get the start for Cincinnati, and he will also have AJ Green back.

Even with Green back in the lineup, the Denver pass rush will get after Driskel, and try to disrupt the young play caller. Bradley Chubb will get two sacks, Von Miller will get one, and Domata Peko (in his Cincinnati homecoming) will also get one.

On offense, the Broncos will look to capitalize against a struggling Cincinnati defense. Phillip Lindsay will have another strong performance with two touchdowns, and Case Keenum will have two touchdown passes.

Cincinnati will attempt a comeback in the 4th quarter quarter, but will come up short.

The Denver Broncos will head to Ohio to take on the Bengals this week. The Bengals starting Quarterback, Andy Dalton, is not playing, but even if he was, I liked the Broncos’ chance in this one.

Jeff Driskel will be making his first NFL start on Sunday, and he couldn’t be faced with a more daunting task. Von Miller and Bradley Chubb breathing down you neck is a tough way to start your NFL career as a starter.

Even with Von and Chubb, Driskel will have to find a way to put up points, because the Bengals defense is last overall in the league coming into this game. With offensive weapons like Sanders and Lindsay ready to go, it’ll be tough for Jeff to win this game if he cannot get his team on the board early.

For the Broncos, make sure to play this game smart, and not be cocky. It’s been a while since they’ve been favored to win a game, and they cannot let it go to their heads. The Bengals still have AJ Green is known to wreck defenses week in and week out.

Getting pressure on Driskel will be the best way to limit AJ. For the offense, keep it simple and continue to protect the ball.
