The Cincinnati Bengals pulled off a thrilling overtime win against the Denver Broncos, keeping their playoff hopes alive. With a final score of 30-24, the Bengals improved to 8-8, while the Broncos dropped to 9-7. Despite a missed field goal by Cade York in overtime, the Bengals managed to score a crucial touchdown with just over a minute left. Tee Higgins caught the winning pass from Joe Burrow, securing the victory.
The game was filled with drama, including a missed touchdown by the Bengals in regular time due to an injury to Chase Brown. The Broncos then tied the game with a last-minute touchdown, sending it into overtime. The Bengals had to fight hard to secure the win, showcasing their resilience and determination.

The Broncos' defense was strong, sacking Burrow seven times. However, their offense couldn't match the Bengals' scoring power. The game was a testament to the Bengals' ability to bounce back from setbacks and seize victory in critical moments.
