Denver Broncos rally to beat Cincinnati Bengals in overtime and reach play-offs

To say McManus missed the kick would be an understatement.

For Cincinnati, the loss was particularly hard-had it managed to win, it would have clinched the AFC North, and the first first-round bye in franchise history. “I was thinking in my mind, ‘If I don’t get to this ball, we’re not making the playoffs'”.

Take away their water, the Broncos don’t mind chugging rain.

The play was doubly painful.

He said he isn’t sure how bad the injury is and he hoped to receive positive news after the MRI.

Marvin Lewis arrived in the Queen City in 2003 and has led the Bengals to the playoffs six times in his 12 seasons, easily the longest run of postseason success the franchise has ever had. But he nearly had a big one, a 34-yard bomb for a touchdown.

“The ball was on the ground, and I was feeling like, ‘There’s no way somebody’s going to take this ball from me, ‘” Ware said. I should have kept running. “I just wrapped my toe around it and I knew I had to bounce back”. “That was my fault.”… It was a flag that had a lot people in the Bengals locker room seething.

-LB Vontaze Burfict was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit out of bounds against Denver TE Virgil Green.

“It’s tough”, Green said. “The refs were late blowing the whistle all night”, Burfict said. “I looked up to see the coverage, and the snap caught me by surprise”. Saw my number, then threw the flag. However, the play was ruled as an incomplete pass, and the call stood after replay. The Bengals are this decade’s version of Susan Lucci, except no one really likes watching or rooting for them. “We’ll see what happened on the tape.”…

If the New York Jets win in Week 17, they’ll clinch a playoff berth. They went up-tempo and changed the pace of the game.

The Bengals stopped Denver’s subsequent drive when they forced Anderson to fumble at the Cincinnati 26-yard line with about four minutes left. “We thought we were going to finish it with the field goal at the end (of regulation), but it’s all about that win”. “We just came up a little bit short”. Seattle surrendered the most points it had allowed since 2011 and got down 19-0 at home, so getting off to a good start will be invaluable to its cause.

After taking a 14-0 lead on its first two series, Cincinnati came up with only one field goal in the remainder of the game.

“Anytime they’re able to extend their drive like that, like they did, guys get winded”, Dunlap said”. “We’ll learn from our mistakes”. Safety George Iloka missed the past two games with an injured groin.

“Sometimes, that’s just how the game goes”, Osweiler said. Osweiler is an up-and-comer who’s had a taste of playing and wants to keep on playing.

How rare was that? Jeremy Hill has run for 10 touchdowns and a year ago he had a monster game against Denver, rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown in 22 carries.
