Sunday will be a significant test for the Cincinnati Bengals as they'll take the field against their AFC North rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, without star quarterback Joe Burrow. Instead, there will be backup signal caller Jake Browning, a player Bengals quarterback Dan Pitcher feels is very prepared for his opportunity to step forward and lead the Bengals against the Steelers and the remaining schedule.

Coach Pitcher returned to In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss why he feels Browning is ready and prepared to lead the Bengals offense.
