At 5-6, the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos still have playoff aspirations. Both match up at Paul Brown Stadium as Week 13 action continues on Sunday afternoon.

The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on CBS in select areas (coverage map here). If the game is on in your market and you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can still watch a live stream of the game (or DVR it) on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Amazon Prime

If you have Amazon Prime or start a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, you can watch all CBS content (both live and on-demand) via the CBS Amazon Channel, which also comes with a 7-day free trial.

Once you’re signed up for both Amazon Prime and the CBS channel, you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Amazon website, or you can watch on your tablet or streaming device via the Amazon Video app.

This service is available live in all 32 NFL markets.

Preview

Each team is heading in the opposite direction. Denver has won consecutive games, while Cincinnati has lost three straight.

Broncos head coach Vance Joseph is preparing his team for Jeff Driskel this week, the quarterback taking over for Andy Dalton, who was placed on injured reserve this week with a thumb injury.

“You watch (Driskel) throw the football and he’s pretty accurate. He’s an NFL quarterback and we can’t sleep on him. Obviously, have a rush plan for a guy like that is going to be critical, and just playing good defense. We’re not going to discount this guy’s ability.”

In addition to losing Dalton, the Bengals will be without starting left tackle Cordy Glenn this week. Glenn (back) will miss his second straight game. Good news in Cincinnati, however, is wide receiver A.J. Green (toe) returned to practice this week and is likely to play Sunday, although his effectiveness will likely be tampered with Driskel under center and not Dalton.

The highlight of the Broncos this season has undoubtedly been undrafted rookie running back Phillip Lindsay. Through 11 games, Linday has 780 rushing yards (5.8 yards per carry) and six touchdowns, adding 187 receiving yards and a touchdown through the air.
