Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning had a game to forget on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
A week after leading a 14-point fourth-quarter comeback against his former team (the Minnesota Vikings), he threw three interceptions in a 34-11 loss to one of the Bengals’ arch-rivals.
He never looked comfortable from the pocket and the Steelers defense made him pay.
His performance also led to a joke about what he said to the Minnesota Vikings last week. After he led the comeback, Browning shouted into the camera, “Shoulda never f*cking cut me.”
“And this is why the Vikings cut Jake Browning,” ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio tweeted.
And this is why the Vikings cut Jake Browning.

Fans didn’t appreciate it and let Florio know.

“I don’t know what the Bengals did to you, but this is just more proof that you can’t stand them. Browning didn’t play well today, but he kept them in the playoff hunt for 3 weeks after losing one of the best QB’s in the league,” another fan tweeted.

The journalist hellbent on following rules who posted a picture of himself wearing a Steelers jersey earlier is taking shots at the Bengals.

Browning will have a chance for redemption next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.
