Broncos’ up-down drill: Best and worst against the Bengals

Tracking the best and worst from the Broncos’ victory Sunday.

UP: Phillip Lindsay. What more can be said about Denver’s undrafted rookie running back? He showed excellent patience and vision on a 6-yard cutback touchdown run in the second quarter and then sprinted 65 yards to the end zone in the third quarter. Lindsay finished with a career-high 157 rushing yards.

DOWN: Starting fast. The first points on the scoreboard (Lindsay’s short touchdown rush) didn’t come until 2 minutes remained in the second quarter. The teams combined for seven punts in the first half.
