The Green Bay Packers have only two turnovers in 2025, a massive problem for a defense that is otherwise of good quality. For perspective, only two other teams have two or fewer turnovers this year are the 0-5 New York Jets and the 1-4 Baltimore Ravens. Oof.
If there were ever a get-right opportunity for the Packers, though, it’s this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have the league’s worst rushing yardage per game mark with just 57 yards per game, which means they’re put in obvious passing situations often. When they get to pass, it’s been terrible, too.
As of now, the only qualifying quarterback with a lower adjusted net yards per attempt than the Bengals’ Jake Browning, who replaced the injured Joe Burrow, is the Cleveland Browns’ Joe Flacco, who was benched for a third-round rookie quarterback going into an international trip last week.
Browning’s eight interceptions, despite only starting three games — all losses, is the second-highest mark in the league behind only Las Vegas’ Geno Smith. Only one other quarterback, Flacco, has even half of Browning’s interceptions in the 2025 season. Browning has also taken eight sacks in three starts, giving the Packers an opportunity for shots at sack-fumbles against a poor offensive line.
Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor said after the team’s loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday that Browning is still going to be their starting quarterback moving forward, but that the team is going to keep considering their personnel options. Mixed signals much?
If Browning is the starting quarterback for the Bengals at Lambeau Field on Sunday, though, the video below is a sneak peek of what you’ll get to watch. It’s a cut-up of all eight of the interceptions that Browning has thrown in 2025.
This reel isn’t a bunch of tipped passes or dropped balls that turned into picks for the other team. All these passes are either bad decisions or poor balls by Browning.
So the film backs up the stats here. Browning is as bad as you think. If the Packers, 14.5-point favorites, don’t blow out this team, then there are big questions we’re going to have to start asking about this Green Bay squad.
