This could be another huge blow to the Bengals as Browning is making his third start in place of the injured Joe Burrow this afternoon. He had an excellent performance in their overtime victory over the Jaguars last Monday and was 17-23 for 274 yards with three total touchdowns and an interception in today’s game.
