The inexperienced quarterback is limited – and he can expect some pain against a strong Jacksonville pass-rush – but the Bengals didn’t abandon the pass in his first NFL start last week.īrowning had a decent statistical day, completing 19 of his 27 passes for 227 yards and, although he did throw a pick, he could take heart from a touchdown pass to Drew Sample.Ĭrucially, Browning found star receiver Ja’Marr Chase for 81 of his yards and, with a partnership established, that will surely be the route for Cincinnati on Monday night.Ĭhase’s ability requires little introduction and the fact that he’s 86 yards away from a third-straight 1,000-yard season only adds to the case that he’ll be favoured by Browning under the bright, primetime lights. With Burrow out for the year, Jake Browning has the reins of the Cincinnati Bengals. Sadly, Monday Night Football will not be providing a battle between Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow, but we can still expect some success through the air.
