It didn\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Browning and the Bengals went 0-3, and he only threw for more than 200 yards once. The team responded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sports\/bengals-want-save-season-so-trade-joe-flacco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">trading for veteran Joe Flacco<\/a>. He was inserted as the Bengals&#8217; starter, pushing Browning back to a back-up role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">It&#8217;s a tough spot to be in, but props to his fianc\u00e9e <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/stephanie-niles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Stephanie Niles<\/a> for not missing a beat. Her support hasn\u2019t wavered. She&#8217;s still cranking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOlk-rhjrSS\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">out fit checks<\/a> as if Browning were still the starter. It&#8217;s business as usual for her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/newsletters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SIGN UP for The Daily OutKick. New Look, Same Attitude.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Credit where credit is due. She could have watched Browning get benched and pack in until he had another opportunity, but that&#8217;s not the role of a backup in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Niles knows this and that&#8217;s why, ahead of Thursday Night Football, she was still doing her thing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The future Mrs. Browning wasn&#8217;t playing around either. Not with the short whiteout skirt and crop top combo and not with the message she delivered. Listen up, you can learn something from her here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">&#8220;I did see a little bit of online discourse about how I&#8217;m not going to be doing fit checks anymore. And I just want to say if you thought that you clearly don&#8217;t know me at all\u2026,&#8221; she said after giving the camera a look at the whole outfit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">&#8220;I am loyal, and I&#8217;m loyal to my man and, as long as he is on the Bengals, I am loyal to this team and I want them to win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Niles added, &#8220;So I will be carrying on business as usual and if that upsets you, that&#8217;s an iss-you. Get it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Holy shit. That is being a team player. Everyone from the top to the bottom of the roster has a role. Stephanie Niles&#8217; role is elite fit checks whether Browning is playing or not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">You have to be ready to run through a wall after watching that. It&#8217;s not going to be easy the rest of the way whether Burrow returns or not, but you can\u2019t just give up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">What a message sent here. A mob wife fit for the whiteout against the Pittsburgh Steelers is incredible. What an elite veteran, no plays off approach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">There aren\u2019t many in the league on a 2-4 team putting in this kind of effort.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bengals backup Jake Browning might be off the field, but his fianc\u00e9e\u2019s still bringing game-day energy.
