Game notes

» All-time against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Denver Broncos own a 22-10 record, including a 13-3 mark at home

» Teddy Bridgewater needs just 56 passing yards to become the 11th different Denver quarterback to pass for 3,000 or more yards in a single season

» With one trip to the end zone, Melvin Gordon III would tie Alvin Kamara (67) of the New Orleans Saints for the second-most offensive touchdowns by an active running back since 2015

» Kicker Brandon McManus needs one field goal to reach 200 made in his career

» With one interception, Pat Surtain II would become the fifth NFL rookie in the past 10 years with at least five picks in his first season

» Surtain (4) can also move into sole possession of fourth place in team history for interceptions by a Broncos rookie with a pick

» With one interception, safety Caden Sterns would become the second Broncos player (Surtain) with at least three picks in his rookie season since Steve Atwater (3) in 1989
