In a battle featuring back-up quarterbacks, Cincinnati (2-0) is in Minnesota (1-1) Sunday. With Joe Burrow (toe) sidelined, Jake Browning gets the start for the Bengals. The career back-up was a mixed bag last Sunday throwing for three touchdowns but also tossing a couple picks in Cincy’s 31-27 win over the Jaguars. J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is sidelined as well and so Carson Wentz gets the start for the Vikings. It will be the veteran’s first appearance this season.
Fun Fact: Assuming Carson Wentz gets the start under center, it will be the sixth consecutive year he has started a game for a different NFL team.
Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Minnesota Vikings.
