PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jake Browning’s promising start with the Bengals came to a halt in a 34-11 loss to Pittsburgh.
The Steelers picked off Browning three times and converted all three turnovers into points to snap Cincinnati’s three-game winning streak.
The Bengals are 8-7 with two weeks to go in the regular season and face a daunting road if they want to make the playoffs.
Browning fell to 3-2 as a starter after taking over for injured Joe Burrow. Browning says quarterbacks sometimes have bad games and it’s more about how he responds.
Cincinnati travels to Kansas City next week.
