How to watch Bengals vs Broncos: live stream NFL 2025 game, TV channels, preview
All eyes are on Joe Burrow backup Jake Browning after last weekend's Bengals humiliation

- Bengals vs Broncos: Monday, September 29, 8.15pm ET / 1.15am BST (Tuesday)
- Watch Bengals vs Broncos on ABC/ESPN3 via Sling/ESPN Unlimited (US)
- Use NordVPN to watch from anywhere
Jake Browning registered his first ever NFL win on the road and under the MNF lights two years ago, earning AFC Offensive Player of the Week status in the process. His career completion percentage (69%) also ranks at the very top of all NFL quarterbacks who've attempted at least 100 passes. And that's about where the positives end for the Bengals.
They were given a 10-48 shellacking by the Carson Wentz-led Vikings last weekend. To put that into perspective, it was Wentz's first start for Minnesota and his first meaningful game since New Year's Day, 2023, and the Vikings defense ranks dead last in the NFL, against both the pass and the run. The Broncos' top-five defense is looking forward to this.
George Paton's men are coming off two straight defeats, having fallen victim to a game-ending field goal on both occasions. While the jury's still out on Bo Nix, he's certainly resilient, having previously gone 3-0 after two-game losing streaks, with the Broncos outscoring their opponents by 102-13 across those fixtures.
JK Dobbins has scored a touchdown in every game so far this season, while Courtland Sutton is producing the goods in the backfield. Ja'Marr Chase only has a single touchdown to his name despite racking up 241 receiving yards, and with tight end Noah Fant out of action and Joe Burrow potentially done for the season, his workload isn't getting lighter anytime soon.
