Jake Browning Lights-Out In Overtime Thriller

Jake Browning Lights-Out In Overtime Thriller

12 months ago

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning may have given us his best Joe Burrow (wrist) impersonation in Monday's unlikely 34-31 road win in overtime over the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing 32-of-37 passes for 354 yards and one touchdown with two carries for 22 yards and a rushing score. Browning orchestrated two first-half touchdown drives before throwing a perfect pass to Ja'Marr Chase in single coverage early in the third quarter for a thrilling 76-yard TD, which was also Cincinnati's longest play from scrimmage of the year. Browning capped off another scoring drive by breaking the plane on a one-yard QB sneak in the fourth period. While expectations need to stay tempered until a greater sample size is established, this was certainly an eye-opening performance. Browning should at least be a viable QB2 option with a fully healthy supporting cast for next Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 14.
