Game Preview: AJ McCarron will get his first real test in the NFL tonight against one of the best defenses in the league. The Bengals are looking to prove they can win without quarterback Andy Dalton who hopes to return in time for the playoffs.
The Broncos have displayed inconsistency on offense but the defense has carried them to victories throughout the season. Both teams are battling for a first round bye and homefield advantage in their first playoff game. The winner will be in the driver’s seat for at least the number two seed in the AFC.
