Jake Browning's girlfriend Stephanie Niles stole the show as she cheered the Bengals to victory against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati.
Niles, who has been with Browning for five years, wore a white suit and orange wool hat as she cheered on the quarterback in Cincinnati, where the weather reached a high of just 39 degrees on Sunday afternoon.
After Browning threw a touchdown with about 50 seconds to play in the first quarter, the cameras panned to Niles in a VIP suite jumping up and celebrating as the Bengals moved into the lead.
The moment gained widespread attention on social media, with one fan joking that Niles “put all the other NFL wives and girlfriends on notice heading into the offseason” with her outfit,
Another wrote of X: “Jake Browning wins on and off the field.”

Niles stood out in December when she joked about Browning's victory over the Vikings
Niles is the co-founder of the swimwear line 7th Street Swim and stood out earlier this season when the Bengals scored a dramatic victory against the Vikings.
Browning led the Bengals to a thrilling 27-24 overtime win after trailing 17-3 and 24-17 earlier in the game in December. And that dramatic win led to a memorable quote from the Bengals star.
'I feel like I need a beer, but I just had a cramping incident, so I'll probably pass on that. Yeah, that was a rollercoaster,” Browning said.
Niles, Browning's girlfriend of five years, then responded by sharing his comments on her Instagram Story and joking that she needed “something stronger” – before posting a photo of a martini as a possible response.
However, quarterback Browning hinted after Sunday's game that he isn't quite in the position he wants to be in as Joe Burrow's backup.
“I've determined that I can be a starter in the NFL,” he said after the game, which his team won 31-14.
“I'm one of the top 32 quarterbacks in the world and I happen to be on the list with a guy who has proven himself to be a top five quarterback in the world.”
But he said he doesn't have much influence on where he will be next season.
“What that looks like in the future, I have no idea, and I have no control over it,” he added.
