Bengals Defeat Broncos 30-24 in Overtime

In a dramatic overtime victory, the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Denver Broncos 30-24, keeping their playoff hopes alive. The Bengals, now 8-8, need another win and help from other teams to secure a postseason berth. Tee Higgins was pivotal in the win, catching 11 passes for 131 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning touchdown pass from Joe Burrow in overtime. The Broncos, at 9-7, missed an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot but can still qualify with a win against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. Cade York missed a crucial 33-yard field goal in overtime, but the Bengals capitalized on a subsequent Broncos' three-and-out, leading to their victory. Joe Burrow's performance and Higgins' clutch plays were integral in the Bengals' first win over a team with a winning record this season.
