NFL Note - Cincinnati Bengals Driskel, Jeff

Aug 18, 2017 - 8:07 AM QB Jeff Driskel could be the heir apparent to AJ McCarron's backup role, and more performances like last week's against Tampa Bay could convince the Bengals to carry three quarterbacks despite some roster constraints. Driskel was 8 of 9 passing for 97 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 34 yards on five carries including a touchdown. Of course, that was against a Bucs' defense comprised largely of backups. Driskel who was claimed off waivers last September is making the most of an opportunity.
