Broncos' Improved Rushing Leads 28-3 Win Over Bengals

The Denver Broncos showcased a significant improvement in their running game during a dominant 28-3 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, marking their first individual 100-yard rusher in 37 games with J.K. Dobbins gaining 101 yards. Head coach Sean Payton revealed that this success came from a new approach, deploying Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey in separate series to help them find their rhythm, which contributed to a combined 200-plus rushing yards and eased pressure on quarterback Bo Nix. The Broncos' ground attack was instrumental in controlling the game and keeping the Bengals' offense at bay, helping Denver improve to 2-2 on the season. Payton acknowledged the team's ongoing process of identity development but expressed optimism that this breakthrough could become a foundational part of their offense. Both Dobbins and Harvey ran hard behind effective blocking, with Harvey also scoring his first career rushing touchdown. The Broncos aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next challenging matchup against the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
