The Cincinnati Bengals embarrassed themselves in a blowout 48-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3, and it's actually unclear if a healthy Joe Burrow could've rescued him from such a demoralizing fate.
I was really bullish on Jake Browning coming into Sunday. Facing the team that waived him thrice before, who he defeated in overtime during the 2023 season. Reasonable to think Browning could've stepped up, no?
Actually, no. Or yes. What am I trying to say? Browning decidedly did not step up, but the Bengals as a team just got smoked in Minnesota.
