The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be facing backup quarterbacks, or players who perhaps should be backup quarterbacks, for most of the remainder of the season. That stretch began this past Sunday in deflating fashion with a loss to the Cleveland Browns’ rookie third-stringer, Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Up next is Jake Browning, the Cincinnati Bengals’ number two after losing Joe Burrow for the year. He will be making his first career start against the Steelers on Sunday, but he is no novice—unlike the Minnesota Vikings’ Joshua Dobbs, he won’t be introducing himself to his teammates in the huddle.
