Last week , The Bengals got absolutely thrashed by the Minnesota Vikings 48-10. In their first Burrowless game , Jake Browning went 19/27 ,140 yds, one touchdown and two interceptions . The Bengals offense was just not good to watch and they got stomped . When it comes to this week they are taking on the Denver Broncos who are also coming off of a loss against the Chargers by a score of 23-20. Bo Nix went 14/25 , 153 yards and one touchdown , JK Dobbins went for 11 carries 83 yds and one touchdown , Cortland Sutton went for six receptions ,118 yards and one touchdown .
Keys To The Game
Bengals
Offense: The Bengals are really going to have to rely on the run game, since the Broncos pass rush is going to give Browning a hard time.Ja’marr Chase and Tee Higgins might not get as many targets. Samaje Peline ran for 20 yards last week and Chase Brown ran .3 yards per carry. So far the Bengals have not run over 55 yards in a game, they need it to happen this week.
Defense
The pass defense is going to be a big factor in this game , they have only allowed five touchdowns in the last two games and last week they only allowed Carson Wentz 173 yards . They are going to have to put the same pressure on Bo Nix, who has struggled to start the season.
Broncos
Offense : A huge part of the Broncos offense that is going to be utilized this week is wide receiver Cortland Sutton . Last week, Sutton had six receptions 118 yards and one touchdown. Nix has to hit Sutton if he wants to get something going .Defense: The crucial part of the Broncos defense for this game is the pass rush . Last week they sacked Herbet five times and picked him off once. Now the Broncos have to go against a weaker quarterback with Jake Browning who was sacked three times and picked off twice .
