SCOREBOARD

Monday, Dec. 2

Denver at Cincinnati, 8:30 p.m. ESPN. The quarterbacks will get a lot of the attention — the Broncos' Peyton Manning for his perfect career mark against the Bengals, and Andy Dalton for his penchant to melt down in big games — in a matchup of teams trying to set themselves up for deep playoff runs. Denver (11-3) can clinch a first-round bye with a win, while Cincy (9-4-1) would wrap up a post-season berth with a victory.
