The Cincinnati Bengals delivered a lackluster performance against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, with quarterback Jake Browning throwing three interceptions—two in the second quarter and one in the third—while managing three touchdowns in a 24-37 defeat. The outcome left at least one person notably displeased.

During the game, Camilla Stewart, mother of Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, sent a scathing message: “Quarterback me please” accompanied by two sadly sighing emojis.

All but one of Browning’s interceptions resulted in Lions touchdowns. Notably, Detroit running back David Montgomery even threw a touchdown pass to backup tight end Brock Wright on a trick play, further frustrating the Bengals.

Between plays, analyst Daryl Johnston expressed concern, saying, “This offense has got to stop being a hindrance to this team! This offense isn’t even close to where it is with Joe Burrow at quarterback.” Play-by-play commentator Kevin Kugler added, “Without Joe Burrow there, that deep ball is absent. There’s no vertical passing game at all.”

After the third quarter, Johnston continued to question the quarterback’s performance: “The recklessness we saw in Weeks 3 and 4…it has come back again here this afternoon.”

On the bright side, all of the Bengals’ touchdowns came in the fourth quarter. Tee Higgins caught one, while Ja’Marr Chase was responsible for the other two scores.

**Bengals Urged to Trade for Veteran Quarterback After Week 5 Loss**

With Joe Burrow sidelined for the foreseeable future and Jake Browning struggling over three games, many believe Cincinnati’s coaching staff, led by Zac Taylor and General Manager Duke Tobin, should explore trade options for a veteran quarterback such as Kirk Cousins, Joe Flacco, or Russell Wilson.

So far, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bengals have yet to initiate any trade talks, maintaining confidence that Browning will regain the form that helped the team finish 9-8 the last time their franchise faced a significant injury to Burrow.

However, USA Today’s Chris Roling urges the Bengals to act quickly: “This needed to happen a week ago. Browning looks lost and is probably suffering from the fact that defenses aren’t caught off guard by his lack of film now. The price on a quarterback trade is going up the more obviously desperate the Bengals get, but they need to acquire a Russell Wilson-caliber veteran and field a watchable team.”

The Bengals’ next game is against the Green Bay Packers. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.

### Bengals Urged to Trade for Quarterback After Week 5 Loss to Lions

With Joe Burrow out for the foreseeable future and Jake Browning performing poorly in three games, speculation is mounting that head coach Zac Taylor and general manager Duke Tobin should start entering trade talks to acquire a veteran quarterback, such as Kirk Cousins, Joe Flacco, or Russell Wilson.

So far, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bengals have not begun any trade discussions, remaining confident that their backup quarterback will regain the form that helped the team finish 9-8 the last time their franchise faced a serious injury at the quarterback position.
