Siemian’s 4 TD passes lead Broncos over Bengals 29-17

Unfortunately, they were unable to punch it in, settling for a Brandon McManus field goal. But, they outrushed the Broncos 103 to 27 in the first half, including a 50-yard run by Hill, who later scored from three yards out to put Cincinnati ahead 7-0.

Now in 2016, without Jackson dictating the flow of the game, the Bengals have become one of the most one dimensional offenses in the league.

“They made a couple of big plays”. Whether or not Andy Dalton plays doesn’t matter. We’ve got the fantasy projections, courtesy of numberFire.

Their offensive line was allowing a lot of pressure on Siemian, especially from right tackle Ty Sambrailo. But Dalton will see his toughest task of 2016 against Denver on Sunday. “I let my team down”. In the last 28 regular-season games at Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals are 22-5-1 and have help opposing quarterbacks to a 59 percent completion rate and just 236 yards per game. It got further out of reach when Dalton threw an interception two plays after the second TD.

Things wouldn’t go the Bengals’ way, however on the ensuing drive. But they did not end the drive that with a touchdown. Dalton has thrown for an NFL-leading 732 yards, 218 to Green. There was no evidence in Sunday’s game. The fact the second-year QB is so quickly adapting to the National Football League is a great sign going forward.

Most importantly, the Broncos had no giveaways inside the Bengals’ 30-yard line after having four turnovers inside the opponent’s 30 in Weeks 1 and 2. “I’m not concerned about that. That’s going to be crucial the rest of the season”. Great play. Clutch moment for a young quarterback.

Margus Hunt blocked the PAT to keep the score there. The Broncos opted to go for two, which didn’t work out in their favor and with the failed two-point conversion, Denver held a 22-17 lead. Siemian got hot and led Denver to a long touchdown drive.

“We killed ourselves today with penalties, and we can’t do that”, coach Marvin Lewis said. We can’t let that happen. “We did not run the ball at all today”.

Today against the best defense in the NFL- in case you were wondering, I am talking about the Denver Broncos-Hill looks like a reinvigorated star in his third season.

Siemian had another one-yard touchdown pass on play-action to John Phillips prior to this play to Demaryius Thomas, but there’s no video now available for that at this time.

He was particularly good on third down.

The Broncos wide receivers made some rare ripples in the pond this past week when they said they needed the ball more. The fumble by Jones was the second of his career and first since 2008, and it came on yet another very questionable call. Simply put, the Bengals’ offense is not built to rely exclusively on the passing game.

“We gave up a big touchdown pass”, Lewis said. “If you get one first down, you have a legitimate shot at field goal”.
