The Cincinnati Bengals surged out of halftime during the Week 14 game against the Indianapolis Colts and marched down the field to score, taking a 21-14 lead.
Said score came via a 17-yard strike from quarterback Jake Browning to tight end Tanner Hudson.
Hudson, who wasn’t on the active 53-man roster to start the season, shoved his way onto the roster and gradually surpassed Irv Smith Jr. as the top receiving option at the position.
With Joe Burrow out for the season and Browning in as the starter, the offense has gone his way even more than usual and — at this pace — he’s an option to stick well beyond 2023 as a key piece.
