The Bengals erased a 14-point fourth-quarter lead Saturday and won with 3:11 left in overtime on Evan McPherson’s 29-yard field goal, 27-24.

Jake Browning Quote from postgame Media News Conference: “They should have never cut me.” — Jake Browning admitted he yelled into a camera after Evan McPherson kicked the field goal in overtime to give the Bengals the win. Browning was cut by the Vikings in 2021 and downplayed the revenge factor earlier in the week.
