Bengals coach Zac Taylor said he doesn’t feel the need to add competition at the position while throwing his support behind Browning despite back-to-back poor starts since replacing the injured Joe Burrow.

Quarterback Jake Browning shouldered the blame for the Bengals' loss to the Lions after throwing three interceptions.

When Joe Burrow suffered a turf toe injury that is expected to rule him out for roughly three months, the Cincinnati Bengals knew there could be trouble afoot. But after a 2-0 start, they quickly threw their support behind Burrow’s backup quarterback, Jake Browning.

A trade or free-agent signing would have to happen by Wednesday to have any possible impact in Week 6 vs. the Packers.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that questions about Jake Browning's job security are fair after Sunday's dismal loss.

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Arguably, the most fight the Cincinnati Bengals put up in their 37-24 loss to the Detroit Lions at Paycor Stadium happened at the postgame podium. Head Coach Zac Taylor opened his press conference by taking the blame for the Bengals’ slow start on offense.
