DENVER (KDVR) — It has been a very strange start to the season for the Denver Broncos. The team is 1-2, but the team has never trailed in the fourth quarter on a technicality.
Two, at-the-death, field goals from the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers have blighted what would be a potentially perfect 3-0 record, even though if the Chargers had missed, it would have been overtime.
The boys are back in town from their road trip to the City of Angels, and need the raucous crowd at Empower Field at Mile High to get them sorted onto the right path for the rest of the season.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Broncos’ Week 4 game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Key things to know about Broncos vs. Bengals
Payton curse?
It might not specifically be a curse, but head coach Sean Payton performs significantly better after September, going only 30-28 for the month, still positive, but when you compare that to his record in October, 44-14, it’s night and day.
If he can secure a win here, he will be able to give his team a boost before his favorite month. In reality, that’s probably when teams start to mesh a bit more, and the players know what clicks — but for now, let’s just leave it up to fiction.
Dre Greenlaw is one game closer
The Broncos picked up a massive free agent signing in the offseason, bringing in linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who is considered one of the best linebackers around.
He has yet to make his debut this season as he recovers from an injury, and fans will have to wait to see him in a game for the first time, as he was placed on the injury reserve list, which is a step up from the Physically Unable to Perform list, before the game against the Chargers.
Since he was placed on the list before the game, he now only has to wait three more games per NFL policy before he can take to the field, and add to what is already considered an elite defense for the Broncos.
The Broncos also have the Monday blues
Just like most people in this world, the Broncos still have to wake up a little extra on Mondays.
Plain and simple, the franchise does not have a stellar record during Monday Night Football, going 34-44-1. This record doesn’t date back to the old days, with the team fixing the trend in recent years. Nope. In the last 10 Monday games, the Broncos have gone 3-7.
While that statistic doesn’t offer much hope, one that might is the Broncos’ home and away record on Mondays. When the game is at home, they are 25-13-1, compared to a less-than-stellar 9-31, on the road.
If the fans want to help the Broncos get over the line with a win, they are going to have to be extra boisterous at Empower Field.
