Around the AFC Lamarvelous: The MVP resides in Murrland, and there’s no need to think twice about it. Bills quarterback Josh Allen has put up absurd numbers (3,549 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, six interceptions and 11 rushing touchdowns).

Broncos (9-6) at Bengals (7-8) When: Saturday, 2:30 p.m. MT Where: Paycor Stadium Radio/TV: 850 AM, 94.1 FM/NFL Network Broncos-Bengals series: Denver is 22-11 in 33 regular-season games dating back to 1968; the Broncos lost 15-10 in the last meeting, on Dec. 19, 2021, at home, and have dropped two of their last three games to the Bengals.
