Bengals Coach Zac Taylor Leaves Open the Possibility of Benching QB Jake Browning

Jake Browning's 6.5% interception rate is the worst in the league, prompting the Bengals to explore quarterback alternatives amid a three-game losing streak.

  • Jake Browning, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, threw three interceptions and finished 26 of 40 for 251 yards with three touchdowns in the 37-24 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025.
  • After Joe Burrow's Week 2 toe injury, Jake Browning, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, has six touchdowns and eight interceptions with a 64.5% completion rate across four games.
  • Coach Zac Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals head coach, has limited in-house options with Brett Rypien as backup and Mike White and Sean Clifford on the practice squad.
  • On Monday, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said staff are evaluating the quarterback position ahead of Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers and `After a game like that we're going to look at all personnel to make sure we're doing the right thing`.
  • Because Week 6 is too soon, any new quarterback would likely target Cincinnati's Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with Russell Wilson expected to emerge as a trade candidate before Nov. 4.
