Bengals stun Peyton Manning, Broncos for playoff spot

USP NFL: DENVER BRONCOS AT CINCINNATI BENGALS S FBN USA OH

CINCINNATI (AP) — With everything on the line, the Bengals picked off Peyton Manning in the closing minutes — twice, no less — and ran themselves right back into the playoffs.

One breakthrough win gave them a chance for another.

Dre Kirkpatrick returned Manning's third interception of the game for a touchdown in the closing minutes on Monday night, completing a rain-soaked rally for a 37-28 victory over the Denver Broncos and a spot in the playoffs.

The Bengals (10-4-1) secured a playoff berth for the fourth consecutive season, a franchise record. They'll play in Pittsburgh next Sunday night, with the winner taking the AFC North title.
