A familiar AFC North adversary will officially be under center in Week 1 to face the Cincinnati Bengals when they visit the Cleveland Browns in the latest Battle of Ohio.
As the Bengals made headlines of their own by opening up business for a Trey Hendrickson trade, the Browns announced on Monday that Joe Flacco will open the 2025 season as their starting quarterback. The 40-year-old vet who delivered a Super Bowl for the Ravens once upon a time is back in the division to try to hand Cincinnati yet another bad start to a season.
