In a Week 2 win vs. the Jaguars, starting QB Joe Burrow suffered a significant toe injury. The Pro Bowler had to leave the game, and Jake Browning took over as QB. Cincinnati won that game 31-27, but it’s been downhill since.
The Bengals have lost three straight games with Browning as the starting QB. In that time, the team has been outscored 113-37. Cincinnati lost 37-24 to the Lions in Week 4. Head coach Zac Taylor was non-committal to Jake Browning as the starter moving forward. On Tuesday, the Bengals traded with the Browns to acquire veteran QB Joe Flacco.
