It’s been quite the “ride” this season for Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning and his girlfriend, Stephanie Niles.
Hours after going viral for her game-day body suit, Niles took to Instagram to reflect on what’s been an “insane” year for the couple as Browning capped off the Bengals’ season with a home victory over the Browns.
“What a ride!! how INSANE is this life!!!” Niles captioned her post, which featured a video of her dancing in a white body suit from a Paycor Stadium suite.
A separate photo showed Niles — who has been dating Browning for more than five years — sitting next to the 27-year-old quarterback at what appeared to be a postgame dinner.
Browning, who relieved injured starter Joe Burrow in November, led the Bengals to a dominant 31-0 lead over the Browns on Sunday, completing 18 of 24 pass attempts for 156 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.
Though Browning was satisfied with the final score of 31-14, the victory is “bittersweet” as Cincinnati was eliminated from playoff contention last week following a loss to the Chiefs.
“I think the second the game is over, you’re glad you won and didn’t play bad, but it’s like, ‘Man, we were so close to the playoffs.’ It’s a weird, bittersweet feeling where you won, and it was good to go out strong. Every team is going to be different every year, and that’s part of the business side of it. But man, we were so close to the playoffs, and it just sucks that we are going home. It’s mixed feelings,” Browning said postgame.
The Bengals finished the regular season at 9-8.
Browning, who began his career with the Vikings in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, threw for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions through nine games.
“I think when I go watch all my film to try to figure out what I’m going to work on this offseason, I’ll be proud of what I put on tape,” Browning said.
“But, the goal is to go to the playoffs, and we didn’t, so that’s pretty motivating going into the offseason too.”
