Broncos Find Their Groove with Ground Game Against Bengals
Hey there, football fans! If you’ve been following the Denver Broncos this season, you know it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. But in their recent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Broncos finally found a rhythm that worked, and it all started with their running game. Let’s dive into the details of how this game unfolded and what it means for the Broncos moving forward.
First off, let’s set the scene. The Broncos were in Cincinnati, facing a Bengals team that has been tough to beat at home. The game was a bit of a slog through the first half, with both teams struggling to find their offensive footing. But then, something clicked for the Broncos in the third quarter.
After wrestling with their own offensive rhythm well into the third quarter, the Broncos ran eight times for 47 yards in a 12-play, 70-yard scoring drive in the third quarter — exactly half of their rushing yards at that point in the game. They finished it off with a 6-yard toss from Bo Nix to Courtland Sutton in the back right corner of the end zone.
Now, let’s talk about that drive. It was a thing of beauty for Broncos fans who have been waiting for their team to lean on the run game. The Broncos ran the ball eight times for 47 yards during this drive, which was exactly half of their rushing yards at that point in the game. It was a 12-play, 70-yard scoring drive that ended with a 6-yard toss from Bo Nix to Courtland Sutton in the back right corner of the end zone. This was the kind of drive that can change the momentum of a game and, potentially, a season.
And what a catch it was by Sutton! This touchdown tied the game at 10-10 with 3:10 left in the third quarter. It was Sutton’s seventh touchdown reception of the season and gave him 941 yards receiving as he searches for his second career 1,000-yard campaign. Sutton has been a bright spot for the Broncos this season, and this game was no exception.
