CINCINNATI, OH – The Cincinnati Bengals are back in the postseason – but they’ll have to wait until a showdown next Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers to see if it’s as champions of the AFC North or as a Wild Card.
Jeremy Hill ran for 147 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals defeated the Denver Broncos 37-28 on Monday night.
Denver’s hopes of home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs were dashed with the loss; New England will enter the postseason as the #1 seed. Denver can, however, lock up a first-round bye with a win Sunday against Oakland.
Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner called the action on Westwood One.
