'I Played Awful today.' Bengals Quarterback Jake Browning Shoulders Blame After Lions Loss

Detroit's defense forced three interceptions and limited Cincinnati's offense early, snapping a seven-game losing streak and securing their fourth win this season.

  • The Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Detroit Lions 37-24 on Sunday at Paycor Stadium, with Jake Browning as the starting quarterback.
  • Browning, who replaced injured Joe Burrow, struggled by throwing three interceptions, contributing to a poor first-half offense that scored only three points again.
  • Although Browning faced early boos and interceptions, he completed 26 of his 40 passes for 251 yards and threw three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, while Ja'Marr Chase recorded six receptions totaling 110 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Coach Zac Taylor maintained strong support for Browning despite his turnovers, but he took accountability for the offense's repeated slow starts and committed to reviewing the team's personnel following a third straight underwhelming offensive performance.
  • Browning took full responsibility for the loss, stating, "I gotta pick my spots better" and a commitment to improve while the offense’s early struggles continue to impact Cincinnati’s season.
