CINCINNATI - Peyton Manning must not like the rain.
Five minutes after the Bengals regained a 2-point lead in a driving rainstorm at Paul Brown Stadium, Manning was intercepted on his succeeding possession when Dre Kirkpatrick stepped in front of Julius Thomas and raced the other way untouched 30 yards for the touchdown.
The pick is the third on the night for Manning, Adam Jones and Reggie Nelson securing the other two as Cincy takes a 37-28 lead on the Broncos in the final frame Monday night.
Denver (11-3) rallied for a 28-27 lead in the third quarter after a meandering first half that found 17 unanswered from the home side and only 125 yards from what recently was heralded as the best offensive eleven in generations.
Emmanuel Sanders caught two scores and C.J. Anderson rushed for a third in that time after Giovani Bernard snagged a 22 yarder from Dalton to give the Bengals a 27-14 lead.
Aqib Talib put the Broncos out front early on a pick-six off Andy Dalton, though Cincy's Jeremy Hill powered 85 yards for the tying score 23 seconds later.
