Denver Broncos vs. Cincinnati Bengals: NFL Matchup ![]()
Trading franchise quarterback Jay Cutler and having top receiver Brandon Marshall demand a trade might not be exactly how Josh McDaniels expected his tenure as the Denver Broncos' coach to begin. He might now be happy to just get his team on the field.
The Denver Broncos look to put a tumultuous offseason behind them Sunday when they open the season against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.
Oddsmakers currently have the Bengals listed as 1-point favorites versus the Broncos, while the game's total is sitting at 44½.
