The Bengals did what you can’t do against the Super Bowl champs in Sunday’s sold-out Paul Brown Stadium opener. No matter who the quarterback is and that’s how Denver’s Trevor Siemian threw two touchdown passes to stake the Broncos to a 16-14 half-time lead.
Denver took the lead with 28 seconds left in the half on a drive kept alive by two dropped interceptions from linebackers Vincent Rey and Karlos Dansby and a third-down sack by defensive tackle Pat Sims that was wiped out on a hold by safety George Iloka.
