Joe Burrow-less Bengals prove no match for Broncos' elite defense
"DENVER -- Three hours before Monday night's game, an ominous sky covered most of the downtown neighborhoods that surround Empower Field at Mile High. But the quirky weather in the Rocky Mountain regions can change on a whim, much like the Denver Broncos so far this season. They had lost back-to-back games -- both coming on the last play -- heading into their prime-time matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals."
"The sun eventually popped out before kickoff and things looked much brighter for the home team in a 28-3 rout. They did it with a defense that showed its elite potential once again -- albeit against an offense without the injured Joe Burrow -- and quarterback Bo Nix' most complete game of the season as he notched his first 300-yard passing game (326) of the year."

The Broncos routed the Bengals 28-3. The Broncos' defense showed elite potential once again, though the Bengals were without injured quarterback Joe Burrow. Quarterback Bo Nix had his most complete game of the season, throwing for 326 yards, his first 300-yard passing game of the year. Penalties remained an issue: seven for 72 yards.
