Denver’s four-game winning streak ended last week with a 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. QB Bo Nix had a strong performance, completing 29 of 40 passes for 263 yards and 2 touchdowns. RB Audric Estimé added 48 rushing yards and a touchdown on just 9 carries, but that wasn’t enough to keep up with the Chargers’ explosive offense.

The Broncos were a resilient team all season, relying on a balanced offensive attack and a defense capable of making crucial stops. At 9-6, they remain in solid playoff contention, but they can’t afford to lose ground in a highly competitive AFC field.

The Bengals are on a three-game winning streak, capped by a dominant 24-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Joe Burrow looked every bit the franchise QB, completing 23 of 30 passes for 252 yards and 3 touchdowns. WR Ja’Marr Chase added another highlight to his outstanding season with 97 receiving yards and a touchdown on 6 receptions.

Cincinnati’s recent resurgence has kept their playoff hopes alive, and a win against Denver would get them back to .500 while strengthening their case for a postseason berth. The Bengals’ defense, which allowed just 6 points last week, will be key in slowing down Denver’s dynamic offense.

Key Matchup: Denver’s passing game vs. Cincinnati’s secondary

Bo Nix and the Broncos’ passing attack has been efficient and they will look to take advantage of Cincinnati’s secondary, which has been inconsistent at times this season. Meanwhile, the Bengals’ defense must generate pressure and force Nix into mistakes to control the tempo.

On the other hand, Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase were a deadly duo, and Denver’s defense must contain them to keep the game within reach.
