In a matchup of two teams that lost their starting quarterback to a season-ending injury, the Cincinnati Bengals match up against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Despite both teams losing their quarterbacks, both are still fighting for a playoff spot with the Bengals just outside of the picture as one of six AFC teams with a 7-6 record, and the Vikings currently holding the sixth seed in the NFC.
Jake Browning has won two consecutive games as the starter for the Bengals, and he has looked the part in those wins. With another win, the Bengals could sneak their way into a playoff spot by next week with just three more games to play.
To do that they will need to hold Nick Mullens in check, who was named as the starter for the Vikings in Week 15 since Josh Dobbs was benched in the fourth quarter of a 3-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders last week. He’s the fourth quarterback to start a game for the Vikings this year.
