Sports: Cincinnati Bengals...on the rebound?

*Doing my best voice impression of Anthony Hopkins' 'Corky' character from 'Magic'* "Whaddya say, sports fans!?!"

The Cincinnati Bengals had their re-match with their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, several weeks ago. It did not go well. Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow had to leave the game early for a wrist injury. Backup quarterback Jake Browning had to take over. Despite a sloppy loss, I felt even then that Jake Browning with time on the field could make a huge difference. I'm still a Joe Burrow fan and making an observation here. The Bengals lost yet another game afterward. From then on, my observation and suspicions that Jake Browning can be a good alternative really gained steam. The team got another victory this past weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. It was hard-pressed, hard-fought, and close. Vikings are often a formidable team until the last minute of the playoffs. Lol. Despite this and yet another concerning injury with Bengals Wide Receiver Ja'Marr Chase, the team has kept their momentum up with Jake Browning @quarterback. They have won their last three games in a row. Hopefully they can pull a win against their rival, The Pittsburgh Steelers, this Saturday. They, too have had a problem at quarterback and have to resort to backup option Mason Rudolph. Make of that what you will. All I can say for the Bengals is get that W, and watch out for TJ Watt along the way. A huge test will come with another re-match against the Kansas City Chiefs the next week. REAALLLLY hope Ja'Marr Chase is healed up by then.
