The Bengals will truly get a sense of where they stand before the playoffs as they take on the strong Broncos in week 16. The Bengals have impressed everybody with their strong trifecta of quarterback Carson Palmer, running back Rudi Johnson and receiver Chad Johnson, and have show spots of true, overall brilliance throughout last season.
However, the Broncos showcased an extremely talented outing every game last season, finishing 13-3. While it is very likely that both of these teams will make the playoffs, don't look for either to wind it down during the regular season as both will want to know exactly where they stand against a solid opponent.
