Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor doesn’t plan on changing up his offense much after shifting from Joe Burrow to Jake Browning. That might sound really obvious, yet the vast differences between starter and backup in Cincinnati create a sense of speculation that perhaps things will change up a bit.

Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped up and led the Bengals to a 31-27 victory over the Jaguars and gave the team their first 2-0 start since 2018. One national analyst has an exorbitant amount of faith in the Bengals backup signal caller.

Browning comes from a football family, primarily through his father. Ed Browning played quarterback at Oregon State from 1987 to 1991. In his college career, Ed played in 14 total games over three seasons and produced just 527 passing yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions.
