Walker put it all together as an edge defender in this game. He was stout against the run and lived in the backfield all game (anything else that happened was woke, off-ball nonsense). The time out clearly did him good; his lower-body explosiveness was noticeable. Walker was considered a project on draft night; he's been learning and playing a more defined position and has improved every game.

CINCINNATI - Even after two rough outings, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning has the full backing of his head coach. On Wednesday, Bengals coach Zac Taylor stood steadfast in supporting Browning after back-to-back defeats in which the offense has struggled. "I've got a ton of confidence in Jake," Taylor said. "I'm unwavering in that. I've seen the best of Jake. I know that we can do a great job supporting him to where he can go win games for us."

"Every game he's gotten better and better. Nothing flusters him. He's got great poise and works really hard. So he deserves a lot of credit. He only got here in June. It's not like we had a whole spring ball with him. We changed the offense and did a whole bunch of stuff, so some of it is just a natural progression of learning the offense and getting better every week."

I hear there's a lot of good Italian food, so I'm looking forward to trying it out and embracing all the culture around here.

"I wanted to send them back out there," Callahan said after the game. "I think just the play number was still low. Those penalties kind of knocked us out of some of those favorable down distances and we didn't convert third downs..."

Mahomes unleashed a deep strike, a pass that traveled more than 40 yards. Fans produced their first loud roar, as Mahomes' pass was perfectly placed over cornerback Jaylen Watson into the hands of Xavier Worthy.

Michael Penix demonstrated impressive short game accuracy during practice, achieving a majority of successful completions mainly through short passes, which are critical for a quarterback's overall effectiveness.

Kader Kohou sustained a right leg injury while defending Tyreek Hill but walked off the field with a limp that improved quickly afterwards.
