FWIW, last night was a game for the ages. Browning played incredible. It’s hard to expect that every week. With that said, if browning can play within himself and in the system there is no reason to think we can’t sustain this offensive production. Brock purdy hasn’t had a game like that since taking over as a 7th round rookie last year. But Brock is surrounded with great offensive talent and a good system.
If yesterday was browning ceiling, which it likely isn’t m, which I’ll get to below,… hopefully his floor is raising at the same rate.
Think about this, yesterday was his first time with Tee. As they continue to get more comfortable Browning might see him in the end zone instead of Tyler Boyd for 7 yards. Chase brown had his first meaningful game and that helped open up everything else. This was just browning second start. He proved the moment isn’t too big.
On the other hand, maybe we caught the jags flat footed, and they watched what we saw last week and thought they would walk through us. The tape is out there now, and I don’t think anyone will take the bengals lightly.
I know the defense had its lumps yesterday with the younger secondary. But I was also impressed with how the bengals controlled the LOS on both sides of the ball. If the bengals defense can continue to contain the run and put teams in 3rd and medium to long, the almost int in the end zone, almost goal line fumble and beathard fumble will fall our way. It won’t be what we are used to…. I just think it will be easier to figure out the RUN d than it will the pass d. The players in the front 7 haven’t changed and have proven in previous years they are capable.
