It looked like Jake Browning's dream ride had hit its expiration date. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, filling in for superstar Joe Burrow, had played very well for a couple weeks. Then for the first three quarters on Saturday, he looked like a player who didn't take an NFL snap until his fifth season out of college.
Browning was struggling, the Bengals were down 17-3 to the Minnesota Vikings and their playoff hopes were about to take a big hit. Then Browning, fresh off a terrible interception, suddenly found the magic again.
Browning led three fourth-quarter touchdown drives, including an acrobatic game-tying score by Tee Higgins with 39 seconds left in regulation, to help get the game to overtime.
