Burrow Injured! Bengals QB Down, Jaguars Pounce! NFL Week 2 Chaos!
DRAMA in Cincinnati! Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a left toe injury during the second quarter of their Week 2 clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow was seen leaving the medical tent and headed to the locker room, later spotted on crutches and wearing a boot. The severity of the injury is still unknown, but it's a major blow for the Bengals.
Browning Steps Up
With Burrow sidelined, backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped in to lead the Bengals. Browning showcased his abilities, throwing touchdown passes to Mitchell Tinsley and Tee Higgins. Head coach Zac Taylor praised Browning's confidence, stating, "He's shown us confidence... We've got to do a great job finding our rhythm on offense. We've just been a little disjointed. We've got to get 11 guys on the same page."
Browning even led the Bengals on a game-winning drive, sealing the victory with a 1-yard rushing touchdown in the final moments. Prior to this game, Browning had only taken four career snaps in the NFL regular season.
