The unwavering belief of Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor in the ability of backup quarterback Jake Browning is starting to give way following Sunday's double-digit loss to the Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions improved to 4-1 with a 37-24 victory over the Bengals in Cincinnati in Week 5, the team's fourth victory in a row.

Ja’Marr Chase made some downright shocking plays on his sudden two touchdowns, one a toe-tapper in the endzone and another just embarrassing a defender down the field.

"Rudi was a fine person and an excellent running back for us," said Bengals president Mike Brown. "He was dependable and productive as a player, and very popular among his teammates. Everyone liked him and saw him as a dear friend.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor sounded open to the possibility of a quarterback change after Jake Browning struggled again in a 37-24 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Taylor said he plans to evaluate why the offense struggled in a third straight defeat.
