Siemian steers Broncos to victory over Bengals

Second-year quarterback Trevor Siemian threw four touchdown passes in his best return since taking over the starting role from Peyton Manning.

The Carolina Panthers, who were beaten by the Broncos in last season’s Super Bowl, suffered their second defeat in three games as they lost 22-10 at home to the Minnesota Vikings.

Aaron Rodgers threw all four of his touchdown passes before half-time as the Green Bay Packers beat divisional rivals the Detroit Lions 34-27.

The Washington Redskins grabbed their first win of the season, 29-27 against NFC East rivals the New York Giants, while Jay Ajayi’s touchdown gave the Miami Dolphins a 30-24 overtime win over the Cleveland Browns.
