Broncos vs. Bengals: Score and Twitter Reaction from 2016 Regular Season
- Updated: September 25, 2016
The Denver Broncos remain unbeaten (3-0) after going on the road and picking up a 29-17 win Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2) in Paul Brown Stadium.
Trevor Siemian had the best game of his brief NFL career to date, throwing for 312 yards and four touchdowns on 23-of-35 passing. Both Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas eclipsed the century mark, with the former catching nine passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns and the latter hitting an even 100 yards and one touchdown on six receptions.
On the other sideline, the Bengals offense couldn’t get firing on all cylinders. Andy Dalton threw for 206 yards and one interception, and A.J. Green was largely a non-factor for a second week in a row. He caught eight passes for 77 yards.
The Broncos led 16-14 after an evenly matched first half. However, the teams had differing fortunes on the offensive side of the ball.
Siemian was 13-of-24 for 144 yards and two touchdowns, but C.J. Anderson ran for just 21 yards on eight carries. Dalton attempted only eight passes, gaining 63 yards through the air. The bulk of Cincinnati’s offense came through Jeremy Hill, who ran for 85 yards and two TDs on 11 carries.
Hill drew first blood at the 11:07 mark of the first quarter on a three-yard touchdown run. Prior to the score, the third-year running back showed off his wheels, running for 50 yards to set the Bengals up near the goal line, courtesy of the NFL:

Denver then answered back with 10 points. Brandon McManus connected on a 20-yard field goal with a little over four minutes left in the first quarter, and Sanders recorded a 41-yard touchdown reception 1:03 into the second quarter to put the Broncos up by three points, 10-7.
Siemian lofted his pass over the Cincinnati secondary and hit Sanders perfectly in stride in the end zone. It was the kind of downfield throw NFL …
