The Cincinnati Bengals are still alive but with no margin for error.
Here is what they need to do to beat the Denver Broncos in Week 17.
Josh Newton
Rookie cornerback Josh Newton has looked good, but young cornerbacks always have ups and downs. He has not been challenged in the last few weeks, but the Broncos have a talented young passer in Box Nix and a very good receiver in Courtland Sutton. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo must take steps to protect Newton, and the rookie must be on his game this week.
