The Cincinnati Bengals and their fans are left wondering what would have happened if quarterback Joe Burrow didn’t get hurt…
After all, the AFC seems wide-open, and the Bengals with a healthy Burrow would most likely be looked upon as the favorites to reach the Super Bowl.
Backup quarterback Jake Browning did an admirable job filling in for Burrow down the stretch. Although there won’t be postseason action for Cincinnati, Browning’s girlfriend, Stephanie Niles, made sure the Bengals season ended on a high-note for football fans everywhere.
In this past Sunday’s finale against the rival Cleveland Browns, Stephanie showed off her very unique (and very revealing) outfit…

As for Browning, he made it clear he’s not content being Burrow’s backup in Cincinnati.
“I’ve established that I’m capable of being a starter in the NFL,” he said after the game on Sunday.
“I’m one of the top 32 quarterbacks in the world and just happen to be on a roster with a guy who’s proven he’s a top five quarterback in the world.”

Browning was very solid filling in for Burrow and certainly looked starter-quality during long stretches of the season.
