<p>Breaking down the Cincinnati Bengals snap distribution during the team's 31-23 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.</p> <p>Here's a bit of irony for you. After being released during the offseason and signed earlier this year, safety Chris Crocker has slowly integrated himself into the defense. Not only did he start his first game of the year against the Denver Broncos, he had the highest participation count of any defender on the team. At the same time Reggie Nelson, who generally posts the most snaps every week on defense, left the game with an injury. </p>
<p>Writing on the wall keeps hinting that the team is finding less use for Manny Lawson, who generated less snaps than rookie Emmanuel Lamur, playing in his first game of his career. </p>

<p>Breaking down the Cincinnati Bengals snap distribution during the team's 31-23 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.</p> <p>The Cincinnati Bengals posted 76 snaps on offense, based on the league's count breakdown. Centers Jeff Faine and Trevor Robinson each posted 38 snaps, with the latter reportedly leaving with a possible hamstring injury. </p>
<p>Brandon Tate had one of his highest participation of the season with 65 snaps, though only catching one reception on six targets (including uncatchable passes). A.J. Green played every snap against the Broncos while Jermaine Gresham fell one short. Cedric Peerman didn't participate in a single play. </p>

<p>The Cincinnati Bengals had every opportunity to beat the Denver Broncos. But like they have all season, they blew it, allowing the Broncos to overcome a fourth quarter deficit and win the game. </p> <p>Close. Yet moral victories are <em>not</em> accepted here.</p>
<p>In a game that featured so many hints and indicators of a historical trend, compounded by a suffocating three-game losing streak, the Cincinnati Bengals nearly recovered from their many depressions, nearly knocking off the Denver Broncos on Sunday.</p>
<p>Yet artistically the Bengals ensured every effort that would lead to another self-imposed loss on Sunday. If not for a missed Mike Nugent field goal, an unexpected 105-yard kickoff return or a handful of penalties by Cincinnati's offensive line in the fourth quarter, Cincinnati failed with many of their remaining opportunities despite all of the self-inflicted wounds.</p>
<p>Thanks to Peyton Manning's two interceptions -- the first in the endzone, the second that led to BenJarvus Green-Ellis' touchdown -- the Bengals took a 20-17 lead into the fourth quarter. As if feeling the suffocating mask of actually having something in their favor, the Bengals absolutely collapsed; not unlike playing a scripted broadway show with eight games remaining.</p>
<p>After an offensive hold on Jeff Faine that eliminated a 19-yard A.J. Green reception (originally converting a third and 15) and an Andrew Whitworth false start, the Bengals were forced into third and 25 from their own 18-yard line. Feeling that he had nothing to lose, Dalton made the horrendous decision to throw the football into a crowd of Broncos defenders covering Green near the right sidelines.</p>
<p>Champ Bailey intercepts the football and the Denver Broncos eventually score a touchdown, taking an 11-point lead with only 3:36 remaining in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>The Cincinnati Bengals were unable to make a game-winning run during the team's final possession of the game, consuming clock on short yardage plays, including a series of runs on third and fourth down that wiped out 31 precious seconds off the clock, leading to the two-minute warning. Screens, quarterback sacks and dump off passes to Brian Leonard led to a Mike Nugent 41-yard field goal, reducing the deficit to eight points.</p>
<p>An attempted onside was recovered by Denver, who milked the clock without any timeouts remaining for the Bengals. Cincinnati extends their losing streak to four games, while the Broncos have won 11 of the past 13 against the Bengals and Manning adding another game to his winning streak against Cincinnati.</p>
<p>The Bengals host the New York Giants next weekend, pretty much without any postseason chance at this point.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Broncos</a> began their drive in <a href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Bengals</a> territory at the 46 yard line after <span>Andy Dalton's</span> pass was intercepted by <span>Champ Bailey</span>. The Broncos began with a 9-yard run by <span>Willis McGahee</span>, but their 2<sup>nd</sup> and 1 because a 3<sup>rd</sup> and 6 after a false start on the offense.</p>
<p><span>Peyton Manning</span> threw a quick check down to Brandon Stokely for a 15 yard gain. The Broncos began pounding the ground with McGahee, and they were faced with a 3<sup>rd</sup> and 2 that was easily converted by another McGahee run - this time for 12 yards.</p>
<p>With 4 yards to go, Manning connected with <span>Eric Decker</span> for the touchdown, complemented by a pass interference penalty by <span>Terence Newman</span> that was declined, of course.</p>
<p>The Broncos lead the Bengals 31-20 with 3:36 left in the game.</p>

<p>Well that was quick. </p>
<p>After the Cincinnati Bengals took a 20-17 lead, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos go on a five-play drive for 80 yards, retaking the lead, 24-20. Now the Bengals must respond. Cincinnati's offense takes the field after Brandon Tate's 28-yard return to their own 27-yard line. </p>
<p>The drive opens with three consecutive BenJarvus Green-Ellis runs for 11 yards, capped with a converted third down run of two yards. </p>
<p>Though it appears that the Bengals took a big-step backwards on an Andrew Whitworth hold, Andy Dalton launches the football down the field for a wide open A.J. Green down the right sidelines. During the route cornerback Champ Bailey was called for defensive holding, giving Cincinnati a new set of downs, wiping out Whitworth's penalty and pushing the Bengals to their own 33-yard line with over nine minutes remaining.</p>
<p>Yet when a team like the Bengals collapse, they collapse with attitude.</p>
<p>Whitworth was called for a false start, making it third and 15 from their own 28-yard line; a situation Cincinnati rarely recovers from. </p>
<p>Dalton takes the shotgun snap, feels the pressure, sticks in the pocket and converts the third down with a huge 19-yard completion to A.J. Green. </p>
<p>Flag. Jeff Faine. Offensive holding.</p>
<p>Third and 25. </p>
<p>Dalton takes the shotgun snap and makes the horrible decision to throw it up to A.J. Green. Champ Bailey, among three defenders, waits for the declining football and intercepts the pass; Dalton's 11th of the season and eighth straight game with at least one. </p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Bengals</a> gave the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Broncos</a> two opportunities for a kickoff return as there was an offsides penalty on the Bengals. Both resulted in touchbacks. Naturally, the Broncos began their drive on their own 20 yard line.</p>
<p>Then, <span>Peyton Manning</span> started his usual fourth quarter clinic.</p>
<p>Manning completed a pass to <span>Demaryius Thomas</span> for 6 yards followed by another failed handoff. The Bengals have consistently been stopped <span>Willis McGahee</span> and the Broncos run game, and Manning is undoubtedly aware of it.</p>
<p>Peyton Manning with a fourth quarter deficit is a dangerous threat. He passed to <span>Eric Decker</span> for a 30 yard pick up, followed by another completion to Demaryius Thomas for a 13 yard gain. <span>Adam Jones</span> was called for pass interference at the Bengals 1 yard line, which resulted in a 1<sup>st</sup> and 1 in the red zone. </p>
<p>Manning threw for a touchdown to tight end Joel Dreesen. 24-10 Broncos with 11:47 left in the fourth quarter.</p>

<p>Following a poorly thrown interception, picked off by Terence Newman at Denver's 27-yard line, the Bengals offense puts the finishing touches on the third quarter with a six-yard run by BenJarvus Green-Ellis. On second and four, Dalton quickly hits A.J. Green on a hitch and sprints across the field near the left sidelines, cutting upfield and knocked out of bounds at the two-yard line.</p>
<p>With 14:24 remaining in the fourth quarter, Dalton overthrows the football on a fade to Mohamed Sanu. So the Bengals called BenJarvus Green-Ellis, doing exactly what he was signed to do. Second and goal, BenJarvus Green-Ellis powers into the line of scrimmage and the pile of bodies is pushed into the end zone.</p>
<p>The Bengals take a 20-17 lead with 14:10 remaining in the game.</p>
