The Bengals just used their final time-out of the first half when the Broncos had the ball on their own 42-yardline ........ but it was only 3rd down. Why ??? All that they were doing was giving the Broncos an outside chance at a 1st down (it was 3rd and 22), which would have gotten them into long field goal range ...... or even worse, crossing the Bengals up by throwing a bomb into the end-zone for a possible touchdown.

The Broncos ran a conservative pass-play, completed the pass in-bounds, and the clock ran out. It was unlikely that either team would score as a result of that time-out with so little time left in the half and both teams out of time-outs, but there was more of a chance that the Broncos would score (perhaps 20 to 25%%) than there was that the Bengals would score (about 2 to 3%) ...... some of the coaches making these decisions makes me wonder if they understand basic risk-reward situations.
