Broncos Seek Redemption on Monday Night Football Against Bengals Without Burrow
The Denver Broncos are set to return to Empower Field at Mile High this Monday for a pivotal Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. With the Broncos currently sitting at 1-2, this clash offers them a chance to turn their fortunes around in front of a national audience.
Bengals Without Their Star Quarterback
The Bengals, boasting a 2-1 record, will take the field without their star quarterback, Joe Burrow, who is sidelined due to injury. In his absence, Jake Browning will start under center, stepping into a challenging situation against a Broncos defense that has become notorious for its relentless pressure. Currently, the Broncos lead the NFL in sacks, and Browning will be tasked with navigating that formidable front.
Broncos’ Offensive Outlook
On the offensive side, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will aim to exploit a Bengals defense that ranks 25th in both total and passing yards allowed. If the Broncos can devise a strategy to mitigate the impact of Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, they could find themselves with ample opportunities to capitalize on the Bengals’ defensive weaknesses.
