September 18, 2011 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colorado The Bengals came into the game losing the previous two games against the Denver Broncos. The Bengals have not won at Denver since 1975. Dalton started the game, despite missing practices and not being cleared until Friday because of his wrist injury. Paid attendance of 73,281 was the highest amount of any games the Bengals played in 2011. The first score of the game happened in the first quarter when RB Willis McGahee ran one yard for a touchdown. Both teams scored a field goal in the second quarter to make the game 10-3 going into halftime. Denver QB Kyle Orton threw two touchdown passes to WR Eric Decker&#8212;one in the third quarter and one in the fourth quarter. With two minutes left in the game, the Bengals were down 24-22 and tried to score to win the game. The Bengals reached midfield, but the Broncos' defense stopped the Bengals and a fourth-and-nineteen occurred. Dalton threw the ball away, and a turnover on downs happened. Dalton's passer rating of 107.0 was a franchise best by a rookie, and WR Jerome Simpson had a career-high 136 receiving yards. WR Jordan Shipley torn his anterior cruciate ligament this game, which ended his 2011 season.
