His performance was a key component in the Broncos’ commanding 28-3 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. This win not only highlighted Dobbins’ skills but also served as a testament to the Broncos’ renewed focus on establishing a robust ground game.
The Broncos outgained the Bengals by an impressive 353 yards, demonstrating their dominance in all aspects of the game. The victory allowed Denver to even their record at 2-2, providing a much-needed boost to the team’s morale and confidence.
A Milestone Achievement
Dobbins’ achievement is particularly noteworthy as he becomes the first Broncos rusher in 38 games to surpass the 100-yard mark. Fans, eager for a revitalized run game in the Mile High City, celebrated this accomplishment, marking it as a turning point for the franchise.
The anticipation surrounding the Broncos’ running game has been palpable, and with Dobbins leading the charge, there is a renewed sense of hope for what lies ahead in the season.
