Oh did the Cincinnati Bengals' outlook ever look bleak when Joe Burrow writhed on the turf after leaving Week 2's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an injury. Then, Jake Browning came to the rescue.
It sure wasn't a flawless performance from the Bengals' backup quarterback. Browning put the ball in harm's way often, tossing three interceptions to keep the Jags' spirits alive as he otherwise proved effective at moving the ball.
However, when the chips were down and it mattered most, Browning finished on an absolute heater. Whether it was his performance down the stretch, or how he fared in the postgame presser, this man looked the part of a franchise quarterback for a magical afternoon.
