Rodgers, which the Vikings have acquired as a free agent during the offseason, chose Jake Browning, who will probably be the starter for Bengals to move forward while Joe Burrow needs surgery to repair the Gazon toe underwent during last week’s victory over Jacksonville jaguars.

Then, in the second trimester, Rodgers found the tight end Noah fant and hit the ball with his hands. Rodgers reacted quickly, recovering the ball and dating back 66 meters in the other direction this time for another hit.
Before the end of the first half, Rodgers added another forced escape to its statistics line, this time by bringing it out of the star receiver of Ja’mar Chase and recovering it. There was also a time when Rodgers saved a touchdown with individual coverage against Tee Higgins.

This is perhaps only the first defeat for Bengals this season, but taking into account the extent to which they need Browning to go before Burrow can even be eligible to return, in fact a first match concerning the full-time starter of the team in the quarter.
