The Cincinnati Bengals traded for quarterback Joe Flacco and got immediate results, highlighted by the Thursday night primetime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers to save the season.

CINCINNATI — Joe Flacco got plenty of worthy praise from his head coach and teammates following another strong outing in a Bengals uniform. Cincinnati needed competent, level quarterback play, with Jake Browning floundering, and they've gotten much more than that out of Flacco.

In what became affectionately known as the "Unc Bowl" on social media, 40-year-old Bengals QB Joe Flacco bested 41-year-old Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers.

Less than two weeks after arriving in a trade from the Cleveland Browns, quarterback Joe Flacco was a central figure in the Cincinnati Bengals' 33-31 upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.

While the NFL remains a young man’s game as a whole, Thursday Night Football was a good example that the old guys can still sling it.

The Bengals have made cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt a surprise healthy scratch in a must-win Week 7 matchup against the Steelers, ESPN's Ben Baby reports. Taylor-Britt started in each of his 17 appearances over the 2023 and 2024 seasons but has started just one game this year after struggles to start the year.

Joe Flacco has given the Cincinnati Bengals a jolt of confidence after one start. Next up on the to-do list is getting the 2-4 Bengals back on the winning track.
