The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 6 riding a three-game losing streak and hope to turn things around against the Green Bay Packers after head coach Zac Taylor decided to make a change at quarterback.
Taylor and the Bengals will turn to 40-year-old veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to get things turned around. Facing the Packers three weeks prior, Flacco has the chance to make history and try to carve up their defense again, with better offensive weapons than he had with the Cleveland Browns.
Joe Flacco can make history against Packers
Flacco played the Packers in Week 3 with the Browns, where he threw for 142 yards (21-of-36) with no touchdowns and an interception, while getting sacked twice. Though he didn’t play well, Flacco did do well enough to keep the Browns in the game and beat the Packers, 13-10.
Making his first start since taking over for Jake Browning, Flacco can become the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to start and win against the same opponent (Packers) while playing for two different teams, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
