Denver Broncos: 3 Bold predictions vs. Bengals in Week 11
By Bruce Matson
3. Defense Dominates
Even though they have one of the most talented set of skilled players in the league, the Bengals have one of the worst offensive units in the NFL. They do however, have the firepower to turn any game into a shootout. A.J. Green is one of the best wide receivers in the league and Joe Mixon is one of the top up and coming running back talents in the NFL.

Denver’s best attribute is their defense, they are tough against the run and pass. They are also very effective at rushing the passer which could create trouble for Cincinnati’s offensive line. They have allowed 25 sacks this season, ranking 11th in the NFL. Von Miller should have his best game of the season against one of the worst offensive lines in the league.
The Broncos’ defensive backfield will have their hands full trying to cover A.J. Green, because he is capable of taking the top off the defense on any given play. He is one of the most dangerous wide receivers in the league.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the defense holds the Bengals to under 350 yards in total offense and keeps them from scoring more than 20 points in this game. I don’t see the other team’s offense consistently driving on the Broncos’ defense.
Bold Prediction: Holds Bengals offense to under 350 total yards and less than 20 points scored.
