Thomas caught 7-of-14 targets for 115 yards in Monday's 37-28 loss to the Bengals. Thomas had two long gains called back on penalties, but he also had a 46-yard reception that stood. He could have had an even bigger night, as Peyton Manning was uncharacteristically inaccurate, and Emmanuel Sanders caught both of the team's touchdowns. Thomas got consecutive looks in the end zone during the third quarter, but the first throw fell incomplete, while the second drew a pass interference penalty. With the Broncos now having plenty to play for in Week 17, Thomas will again be an elite option for a favorable matchup against the Raiders.
