Broncos Rout Bengals 28-3 at Empower Field

The Denver Broncos routed the Cincinnati Bengals 28-3 at Empower Field in Week 4, improving to 2-2 while Cincinnati — without injured QB Joe Burrow — fell to 2-2. Bo Nix completed 29 of 42 passes for 326 yards, threw two touchdown passes and one interception, and added a 6-yard rushing score, including an 81-yard TD to Courtland Sutton. J.K. Dobbins rushed for 101 yards and Marvin Mims Jr. also contributed as Denver balanced its offense. Denver’s defense dominated, recording multiple sacks, forcing nine straight third-down stops and holding Cincinnati scoreless after an opening field goal; backup Jake Browning finished 14-of-25 for 125 yards with no touchdowns. The Broncos committed several penalties (including four on center Luke Wattenberg) and had drops from Troy Franklin, but the win sets them up to travel to face the 4-0 Philadelphia Eagles next week.
