The Cincinnati Bengals have one giant question mark heading into Week 12 — can they survive with Jake Browning at quarterback? After the season-ending wrist injury to star Joe Burrow, Browning will step up and get the first start of his career against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend.
Since Burrow went down, many have counted the Bengals out altogether from the playoff picture. However, Browning remains confident in himself and his abilities.
“I’ve won at every level I’ve played.” That is worth mentioning, according to Browning. I’ve had the nickname “sly athletic” for ever. I’m not sure where the cunning element originates. been precise at all times. “I’ve never been scared to talk about it,” said Charlie Goldsmith of the Enquirer.
Browning went 8–14 for 68 yards and a touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens while replacing Joe Burrow. With an overall record of 39-15, the former Washington quarterback enjoyed winning seasons in each of his seasons as a member of the Huskies. He completed 12,296 yards of passing as a Husky, with 94 touchdowns and 34 interceptions. Add 16 touchdowns to his running total. Despite his success in college, he must undoubtedly establish himself in the NFL. After being selected undrafted in 2019, Browning has mostly been used as a practice squad member or backup and has not played football on a regular basis since then.
The Bengals’ chances are presently stacked against them, regardless of Browning’s feelings. Cincinnati is only 5-5 and in the toughest division in the NFL. The Bengals are 0-3 against teams in their division in addition to being in last place while every other AFC North team has a winning record. This means that they have to win their next game against the Steelers.
