It's not hard to envision a scenario where Jake Browning flourishes in Joe Burrow's absence as the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback. Seeing is believing, and we've seen Browning do it before back in 2023 in a 4-3 stint as the starter.
That said, Browning did throw three interceptions in relief of Burrow this past Sunday. Although he still drove Cincinnati to victory by a score of 31-27, Browning's rust from when he last had meaningful snaps was evident.
Will those nerves or ill-advised throws carry over in Week 3? According to these bold NFL predictions, it's believed that Browning will bounce back in a big way.
