The Bengals went up on the table first with an opening basket on the ground, but it was the Broncos who found the goals area first thanks to Nix who took him six meters in third and 5 for a rushed score just before the end of the first quarter.

Courtland Sutton also added a key reception of 22 yards in third and 4 to keep this journey alive before the Mims stellar race.

An advance of 21-3 for the Broncos at halftime could have been worse if Nix was not intercepted in fourth and 1 of the two-meter cincinnati line with two minutes to play in the second quarter. But it is a turnover that ultimately did not injure the Broncos due to the ineptient of Bengals in attack.
The star receiver Ja’mar Chase was even seen climbing to the head coach Zac Taylor during the second half clearly frustrated because the offensive could not put anything together.
Denver ended up caps his victory with an easy touch for the RC Harvey recruit ball carrier on a connection of 12 yards Lofted to do it 28-3.
