NFL game summary for 11/09/1975:
Coach Paul Brown pulled a hipper-dipper play out of the hat to set up the winning touchdown. Ken Anderson passed to Chip Myers who lateraled to Isaac Curtis for a 33-yard gain that moved the ball to the 1 for Boobie Clark's TD plunge. An aborted conversion attempt on a bad center snap after the first Denver touchdown proved to be the margin of defeat. Anderson completed 18 of 26 while the Bengals' defense shut off the Broncos' running game with 92 yards. Steve Ramsey connected with 21 of 40 for 230 yards and one Denver touchdown, only the fifth allowed by the Bengals' pass defense.
