Cincinnati Bengals. 22. team. 56. . W, 20-17 at Broncos. Previous:

Wait, so Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton went up against a good Denver Broncos defense and managed to throw three touchdowns without being intercepted?

Say it ain’t so!

Well, so. Although one could make the argument Denver’s defense is being exposed by its own offense. Or lack thereof.

At any rate, the lowly Bengals managed to knock off a struggling Broncos team in this road contest, so kudos to head coach Marvin Lewis, who still can’t be feeling too cozy about his future with the franchise.

But at least Lewis managed to get the penalties under control. Cincinnati was flagged just three times in this contest — a far cry from the 12 it had last week.
