Quarterback Joe Burrow produced three touchdowns in regulation play to put the Cincinnati Bengals in front of the Denver Broncos on Saturday. And each time, rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw a touchdown pass as the Broncos tied the score.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow entered Paycor Stadium for his team's Week 17 game against the Broncos as the NFL's leader in passing yards. Burrow and the Bengals need to beat the Broncos to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Ryan Clark explains why the Bengals' offense will prove to be too much for the Broncos in their Week 17 matchup.

That's how long Bo Nix needed to drive the Broncos to the tying score. His second touchdown throw of the day, a 51-yarder to Marvin Mims, has allowed the Broncos to tie the Bengals 17-17 with 8:48 left.

Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos came up short against the Cincinnati Bengals, losing in overtime to the Bengals. A win or tie would have clinched a playoff spot for Denver.
