Veteran Backup Emerges: Roethlisberger Impressed by Browning
Ben Roethlisberger was on the Bleav in Bengals podcast and talked about the surprising play of Jake Browning in relief of Joe Burrow. Browning is 3-1 since taking over as the starter for Cincinnati this year.
“I think he is playing like a veteran backup,” said Roethlisberger. “The way he is playing is what you expect from a good backup.”
Big Ben was a quarterback in the NFL for 18 seasons, so he knows what a quality backup should look like.
“I think he is playing some really good football right now, and I think it is what you would expect to see from a guy who had such a history in college. He played a lot in college and did some great stuff,” said Roethlisberger. “Just because he hasn’t done it in the leagues doesn’t mean he’s not a guy that couldn’t do it.”
The Bengals are three-point favorites over the Steelers this weekend, according to BetOnline.
