QB Joe Flacco is on his third AFC North team after the Cincinnati Bengals acquired him in a trade with the Cleveland Browns this week. The move shocked Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. After all, you don’t see trades inside a division very often, especially ones involving a quarterback.
But the Bengals desperately needed a quarterback, and the Browns had no interest in keeping Flacco around. While he didn’t immediately reverse the Bengals’ losing streak, he did give the team hope with two touchdown passes (and no interceptions) versus the Green Bay Packers. And one Steelers player wasn’t surprised by that.
