DENVER – In his sixth start, Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler had to lead two winning drives.
It looked as if Osweiler had helped the Broncos to a victory, and playoff berth in regulation. But kicker Brandon McManus missed what would have been the winning field goal as time expired in regulation. McManus redeemed himself on the opening drive in overtime, hitting a 37-yard field goal to give the Broncos a 20-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
After a shaky first half, the rejuvenated Broncos put together a touchdown drive to open the third quarter and another early in the fourth to formally put themselves into the playoff field.
