Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco will be the team’s starting quarterback for their upcoming Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers, head coach Zac Taylor has confirmed. The news comes just a day after Flacco was traded from the Cleveland Browns alongside a 2026 sixth-round pick in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals pulled within one score of the Packers on Sunday afternoon via a long touchdown drive to spark some life into a stagnant offense. Joe Flacco threw his first TD with the team on a fourth-down crossing route to Tanner Hudson for his third career touchdown catch. It capped a 17-play drive.

The Browns traded veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to the Bengals on Tuesday. Shedeur Sanders credited the veteran for mentoring him before the deal.
