In case you were wondering where C.J. Anderson has disappeared to these last few weeks, don’t worry. He’s back!
The Denver Broncos trailed the Cincinnati Bengals 14-0 mid second quarter, but after a 39-yard Anderson touchdown run, the Broncos have now scored the last 17 points of the game to take a 17-14 lead.
1 jump cut.
That's all @cjandersonb22 needed to turn "tackled for a loss" into "39-yard touchdown". #CINvsDEN #MNF https://t.co/a0pHVp4swQ

You can give credit to the offensive line, the blocking wide receivers or the play call, but in reality, that one was all C.J. Anderson.
That rush was only Anderson’s fourth rush of the game, compared to Ronnie Hillman’s 6, but I expect that to change quickly; Anderson has proven consistently throughout the season that, when healthy, he is the best running back on the Denver Broncos’ roster.
Now, if the defense can just hang onto the lead, the Broncos will walk away with 11th win.
