The Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns game will feature two backup quarterbacks.
Zac Taylor decided to hold out Joe Burrow in order to keep him rested for the NFL playoffs. Baker Mayfield decided to undergo labrum surgery now that his team has nothing to play for.
That means that we will get the first-ever matchup between Case Keenum and Brandon Allen at quarterback.
The Bengals have elevated eight players from the practice squad, so players like Evan McPherson and Trey Hendrickson could get some rest.
This will be Allen’s first start this year.
