Backup QB Jake Browning shines again as Bengals pound Colts 34-14 to stay in playoff mix
In a span of six days, Jake Browning has gone from Joe Burrow's little-known backup to the potential savior of the Bengals' season. Making his third NFL start, the 27-year-old Browning was outstanding again on Sunday, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for a score as Cincinnati beat the Indianapolis Colts 34-14. With Burrow out for the season with a wrist injury, the Bengals seemed in danger of slipping into irrelevance before Browning threw for 354 yards and a touchdown in a win at Jacksonville last Monday night.
