You’ve seen quotes from Broncos players and coaches on the matchup with the Bengals all week, but how about a look from the other side? We browsed the web to find the best quotes on the Broncos from the Bengals this week.

Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis

Via Bengals.com

On the Broncos in general:

“They have an excellent receiver group and tight end group. The backs, (C.J.) Anderson and  (Ronnie) Hillman, do a great job of staying behind that line and running behind their pads. It’s well-put-together offense, and then defensively, the numbers they’re putting up have been consistent throughout the season. We have to play great football in all three phases.”

On Brock Osweiler’s height:

“Well, it’s a plus that he’s a three-quarter delivery guy. He does get some balls tipped. We have to do a good job. We set out each week to go through the fundamentals and take care of things one step at a time. Obviously, that is just as important this week.”

Bengals quarterback A.J. McCarron

On the Denver defense:

“They’re unbelievable. They’ve got some legendary guys, especially I grew up watching DeMarcus Ware. I know (corner Aqib) Talib well. We have the same agent. It’s a special group — a special defensive group, especially — and we have a challenge for us on Monday night. I know my guys. We’re up for the challenge, but it’s going to be a good one.”

On playing in an iconic stadium:

From Bengals.com

“Yeah, first just being in the NFL is a special opportunity and just a blessing. But to play in the places that you saw growing up when you turned the TV on Sunday afternoon or Sunday night football or Monday night football or whenever it was, to see where some of the all-time greats played, it’s definitely special. It’s an unbelievable opportunity for us as a team, for us as individuals. It’s going to be special no matter where we play. It’s just a blessing to be in this league and playing every Sunday.”

On watching John Elway:

“Yeah, I remember watching him. Growing up, I didn’t really watch a whole lot of NFL football. But yeah, I remember watching Elway.”

Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson

From Cincinnati.com

On preparing for the Denver defense:

“I won’t sleep much this week. I haven’t slept much already and I won’t sleep much now. They’re as good as I’ve seen. They’re athletic, fast, tenacious, play hard, play for one another, seem to hold each other accountable in what they’re trying to accomplish. They’re good. There’s a reason why they’re No. 1.”

Bengals left tackle Andrew Whitworth

From Cincinnati.com

On the difference between last year’s Broncos defense and this year’s:

“The only real difference is this year is Wade is letting them just play football. They’re not real complex. They’re just letting all those really good players play. I think that’s what makes them good.”
