Jake Browning Looking To Join Brett Favre In Rare Company Sunday

When the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers matchup on Sunday, Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning will make his first NFL start. He’ll become the first quarterback to make their first-ever NFL start against Pittsburgh since former Dallas Cowboys QB Garrett Gilbert made his first start against Pittsburgh on November 11, 2008 in a Week Nine matchup that Pittsburgh won 24-19. In fact, the Steelers have won their last eight matchups against quarterbacks making their first career start. If Browning was to beat the Steelers, he would become the first quarterback since Brett Favre on September 27, 1992, when Favre and the Packers beat Pittsburgh 17-3 in Week Four.
