Joe Burrow has redefined the Bengals, but even stars have weaknesses. With a 7-8 record, Cincinnati’s defense leans on turnovers to survive. For the Broncos, the game plan is simple: protect the ball, dominate the clock, and keep Burrow sidelined.
1-11: The Bengals’ record when opponents hold the ball for 30+ minutes and run on 50% of plays.
22-8-1: Cincinnati thrives when forcing two or more turnovers but falls apart without them, going 0-4 this season.
20-8: Teams running at least 43% of plays against Burrow-led Bengals typically come out on top.
“We need long drives to keep that freak-of-nature quarterback off the field,” said Broncos LT Garett Bolles.
Winning is as much about patience as it is about execution.
