The Denver Broncos represent a must win game for the Bengals playoff hopes to remain alive, and Joe Rowles (@JoRo_NFL) from Mile High Report joins me to answer the tough questions:

- do the Broncos look the part of a playoff team themselves?

- how is the run defense weaker than it looks on paper?

- will the lackluster pass rush give Burrow some much needed time?

- how can the Bengals defense bait Teddy Bridgewater?

- how much of each Denver running back can we expect to see?

- will Noah Fant be used similarly to Kittle?

- whether the Bengals know how to handle success

- just how bad the first quarter was

- why the two biggest plays of the game also were the most unlucky

- the reason panic isn't necessary
