Scott Boehm/Getty Images(CINCINNATI) — The Cincinnati Bengals heard all week about their struggles in primetime games in recent years, but they atoned themselves after defeating the Denver Broncos 37-28 on Monday Night Football.
Rookie running back Jeremy Hill dominated for the Bengals once again. He ran for 147 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, putting him over the 1,000 yard mark on the season. He’s the 3rd rookie in NFL history with four games of at least 140 yards rushing.
With the win, the Bengals clinched a playoff berth for the fourth consecutive season, a franchise record.
“I know a lot of guys are never fortunate enough to make the playoffs,” said Hill. “In college, I wanted to play for a national championship but never got the chance.”
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning struggled on Monday night. While he did throw for 311 yards and two touchdowns, he threw a season-high four interceptions, including a pick-six to cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick with under three minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
With the loss, the New England Patriots clinched the top record in the AFC.
