Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning will want one of his throws on Saturday back.

The Bengals were driving when Browning threw up a duck to nobody in particular and it was picked off by Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback/safety Patrick Peterson.

Here’s a look at the play:

There was no reason to throw this pass since he didn’t have an open receiver. He should’ve just thrown it away to ensure that the Bengals get on the scoresheet since kicker Evan McPherson is one of the best at his position.

Instead, the Steelers got the turnover and scored on the ensuing possession to extend their lead to 14-0.

The Steelers then got another interception off Browning later in the first half and scored another touchdown to push their lead to 21.

They’re trying to keep their slim playoff hopes alive while also throwing a wrench in the Bengals’ playoff hopes.
