Did not have "Joe Flacco will be the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback by midseason" on my bingo card at the dawn of the 2025 NFL season, but here we are.
A mere month after Flacco suited up for the Browns in their season-opening 17-16 loss to the Bengals in Cleveland, he finds himself rocking the Orange and Black as Cincinnati's imminent QB1. Few things shock me in sports anymore, but a Browns-Bengals trade revolving around Joe Flacco did.
Methinks the Bengals think they can be frisky until Joe Burrow returns from injury in December, or at least that's the optimistic timeline as of now.
