The Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> won’t have Joe Burrow for the foreseeable future, which is definitively a bad thing.<\/p>\n

But the drop-off to backup QB Jake Browning might not be as steep as some are expecting.<\/p>\n

Browning has had a historic start to his NFL career, albeit based on the only seven starts he’s made in the league which were back in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Bengals went 4-3 in those games, and most notably, Browning was incredibly accurate.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Ben Baby<\/a> shared this stat on Friday:<\/p>\n

“Browning has a 71.5% career completion rate as a starter, which is the third-highest mark by any signal-caller in his first seven starts since QB starts were first tracked in 1950 (minimum 200 attempts), behind Jayden Daniels (75.6%) and Chad Pennington (73.7%).”<\/p>\n

In relief of Burrow during the Week 2 win over the Jaguars, Browning was a mixed bag.<\/p>\n

He threw three interceptions, but he also threw a couple touchdowns and led the Bengals to the win.<\/p>\n

With a full week of preparation, Browning has a chance to play very well going forward, especially with the talented wide receivers he has to throw the ball to.<\/p>\n

If Browning is on time and on target, good things will happen.<\/p>\n

The Bengals will still miss Burrow, but Browning isn’t all bad.<\/p>\n
