Pregame: Bengals vs. Broncos

CINCINNATI — Today’s match-up between the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos has been the most anticipated season opener for Bengal fans in recent history. Some estimated 62,831 fans decked out in their orange and black flocked to Paul brown Stadium to get a gander at the 2009 Bengals.
On my way into PBS, I stopped to interview Sophie Jones, a die-hard Bengals fan, to get her prospective on today’s game.
“I am looking forward to seeing some of the rookies like Bernard Scott and Rey Maualuga show their stuff,” Jones said. “They looked very good during the preseason games and I am betting that they are going to play full tilt today due to the fact that it is the first real game. The team has a lot of young and talented players and I’m hoping they can channel their energy and talent into a winning season.”
Let’s hope she’s right.
WARM-UPS
Denver quarterback Kyle Orton will start the game despite a dislocated index finger. He’s on the field wearing a glove on his injured hand and appears to be throwing the ball well.
Rookie running back Knowshon Moreno sprinted out onto the field during warm-ups after being listed as questionable. He’s expect to see some action today.
