Cincinnati Bengals Urged to Pull Former Pro Bowl QB Out of Retirement
The Cincinnati Bengals thought they’d be just fine with Jake Browning as their starting quarterback. Three games in, he’s helped lead them to a 1-2 record. That’s not ideal after they started the season 2-0, partially with Browning’s help.
Yet, he is also among the NFL’s interceptions leaders. In fact, Browning’s 6% interception rate is the highest in the NFL.
Meanwhile, everything the Bengals did this offseason was aimed at getting back to competing for a playoff spot after missing the postseason a year ago. They’re not ready to throw in the towel just because Joe Burrow suffered another serious injury.
Quick Hits | Zac Taylor Endorses Jake Browning, Gives Rookie RG Jalen Rivers Another Start
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor began prep for Sunday's Paycor Stadium game against the Lions (4:25 p.m.-Cincinnati’s FOX 19) endorsing quarterback Jake Browning.
The Bengals have scored 13 points in the last two games on the road after Browning came off the Paycor bench three weeks ago and generated 21 points in less than three quarters to lead the 31-27 win over the Jags.
"I don't," said Taylor Wednesday when asked if they need competition at quarterback.
"I've got a ton of confidence in Jake. I'm unwavering in that. I've seen the best of Jake," Taylor said before a late-afternoon walkthrough at the IEL Indoor Facility. "It's my job to help Jake and find ways to give our guys the best chance to help Jake … I think it's going to be nice playing at home. Being able to use our verbal cadence will allow us to do some things that maybe is a little more difficult to use on the road. Knowing you're going to be late with the play call and all that kind of stuff, getting to the line of scrimmage … Three points isn't good enough. Ten points isn't good enough. Our expectation is that we have to score a lot to take pressure off our defense, put pressure on the opponent. … And it really starts with me on offense, getting those guys in a rhythm."

They believed in him in 2023, naming him the backup and riding with him for the final seven games of a lost season without Joe Burrow.
They believed in him by never even putting his role as a backup into question after bringing in Desmond Ridder during this training camp.
They believed in him after Burrow’s toe injury and not bringing in any experienced competition to challenge his spot.
On Wednesday, head coach Zac Taylor reupped his belief in Browning despite the Bengals being outscored 76-13 in the first two games without Burrow this year.
“I’ve got a ton of confidence in Jake,” Taylor said. “I’m unwavering in that. I’ve seen the best of Jake. I know we can do a great job supporting him to where he can go win games for us. I feel extremely confident in Jake Browning.”
