Broncos 31, Bengals 23: Peyton Manning threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns - including the go-ahead score to tight end Joel Dreessen early in the fourth quarter - as visiting Denver handed Cincinnati its fourth straight loss.
Trindon Holliday returned the second-half kickoff a franchise-record 105 yards for the AFC-West leading Broncos (5-3), who have won three straight games. Manning shook off a pair of third-quarter interceptions and improved to 8-0 against the Bengals (3-5).
Terence Newman's second interception set up BenJarvus Green-Ellis' 2-yard touchdown run, which put the Bengals ahead for the first time at 20-17 with 14:19 remaining in the fourth. But less than three minutes later, Manning, who finished 27-of-35, responded by leading a five-play, 80-yard drive with laser-like precision.
After Manning's deep pass to Demaryius Thomas drew a pass interference call in the end zone, he hit Dreessen for the go-ahead score with just under 12 minutes left in the fourth.
Champ Bailey intercepted Andy Dalton on the ensuing series and Eric Decker's second touchdown catch - a 4-yarder - made it 31-20 with 3:36 to play. Dalton finished 26-of-42 for 299 yards and star wideout A.J. Green scored for a seventh straight game.
