Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss his amazing run in 2023 and how he believes 2024 will be the year the Bengals take that next step. 

Jake played great filling in for Joe Burrow, after Joe's season-ending injury against the Baltimore Ravens. Jake led the Bengals to a 4-3 record and just one game out of the playoffs. 

Jake threw for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions in seven starts and played well against every opponent besides the Pittsburgh Steelers. The whole league counted out the Bengals when Joe Burrow suffered his season-ending injury but Jake proved that he could be one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the NFL. 

The performance from Jake is great for the Bengals as now they have two capable quarterbacks in the building and with Joe's injury history it's very valuable for the Bengals to have a talented backup. Jake's contract is also great for the Bengals as he is under contract for the next two seasons as 2023 counted as his rookie year.
