Jake Browning’s Bengals rise: What happens when Mr. Blend In becomes Mr. Breakout?

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Vikings vs. Bengals. “The biggest adjustment has been,” Browning began, paused and laughed, “I’m so tired of talking about myself.” Browning sat around a table at prestigious Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in downtown Cincinnati on Sunday night, soaking in his second career NFL victory with friends and family who have been with him every step of way from Folsom, California to the University of Washington to the practice squad of the Minnesota Vikings to contemplating coaching to two-plus years in the background with the Bengals. “He was nice enough to give them tickets so they don’t have to sit up in the cold,” Browning said after the game. “Joe’s a little bit more flashy,” said right tackle Jonah Williams, who played with Browning at Folsom High School in California. “I got opinions, but I guess that was part of the job that I didn’t really ever experience,” Browning said.
