It could be a big one.
If everything goes the Cincinnati Bengals’ way in Week 16, their Week 17 clash with the Denver Broncos could be a very big game for the Bengals’ postseason hopes. The Bengals need Denver to drop three games to end the season, one of them being the head-to-head matchup at Paycor Stadium.
The game had been listed as to be determined for the date and time as the NFL waits to set the better matchups for the weekend, but we now know the Bengals will take on Denver on Saturday, December 28th, at 4:30 PM ET.
It will be broadcast on the NFL Network.

If the Broncos drop their Thursday Night Football game to the Los Angeles Chargers this week, the Week 17 meeting could be massive for the Bengals’ slim playoff hopes.
Of course, this is all assuming the Bengals handle business against the Cleveland Browns first, plus get some help from the Chargers.
The Bengals have won enough games to keep themselves out of a top 10 NFL Draft pick, so we may as well try to get them into the postseason and hope for some Joe Burrow magic.
