Teams coming off disappointing weeks look to turn their fortunes around on Monday Night Football when the Cincinnati Bengals clash with the Denver Broncos . Cincinnati was crushed 48-10 by the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday, while Denver blew a fourth-quarter lead and dropped a 23-20 decision to the Los Angeles Chargers in a key AFC West matchup. The Bengals (2-1), who are tied for first in the AFC North with the Pittsburgh Steelers, are 2-0 against AFC opponents in 2025. The Broncos (1-2), who trail the Chargers by two games, are 1-2 against AFC foes. Jake Browning will start at quarterback for the Bengals in place of Joe Burrow (toe), who is out for multiple months. Cincinnati tight end Noah Fant (concussion) has been ruled out.
