However, if the Broncos’ split their final two games and finish 11-5, they would miss the playoffs if the Chiefs, Steelers and New York Jets all win their final past two games.
This report comes after Peyton Manning flat out refute NFL.com’s Ian Rapaport’s claim that he is unsatisfied serving as the Broncos backup quarterback behind Brock Osweiler.
The Bengals might be just as desperate for a win. The Bengals will be without Andy Dalton again, so A.J. McCarron will start again. Submit your final score prediction below.
Monday Night Football is a huge game for both the Broncos and the Bengals.
As it stands, the Broncos have an outside shot to land a first-round bye. Hopefully Green’s ailing back is better because Cincinnati will need him to take the top off of Denver’s defense. A heavy dosage of trap, draws and screens will keep Miller and Ware from pinning their ears back as the game wears on.
The Broncos lost another safety, and this time it’s the longest-tenured and maybe the toughest player on their roster.
Critics roasted Peyton Manning’s deep-ball ability when he started in Weeks 1-10.
Osweiler, who is 3-2 in his five previous starts, said any public uncertainty over who would play at quarterback has not affected him during his weekly preparation.
Even when Osweiler is on target, he’s not always getting the help he needs. Defensively, Denver is allowing 18.5 points and 279.9 yards per game. “It’s good enough to find the open receiver”. Vernon Davis and Demaryius Thomas had crucial drops the last two weeks, and wins in either of those games would’ve improved Denver’s playoff chances.
December hasn’t been very kind to the Broncos. Osweiler has four passing touchdowns in his last three games. “He’s a leader, he’s a warrior and he gave up everything for his team yesterday”.
The Broncos are 10-4 but could still miss the playoffs with two losses to end the season, including Monday’s game against Cincinnati and Week 17, when the Chargers are in Denver to close out the regular season.
