CINCINNATI — The Bengals traded for Joe Flacco with hopes of saving their season. Sending a 2025 fifth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for the veteran quarterback and a 2026 sixth-round pick was a no-brainer for Cincinnati.

Joe Flacco on his three seasons with the Jets: "It's just one of those times ... you had to fight through some things to get to the next step."

He had met Joe Flacco, the Bengals’ new quarterback, at 8 p.m. the day before. In a matter of hours, Flacco would step into a huddle of players he had never met and tell them to run plays he barely knew.

The New York Jets have made a key decision regarding quarterback Justin Fields before taking on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco joked that he no longer feels sorry for the guy he sees sitting by himself and eating a meal.

Jets rookie CB Azareye'h Thomas played a career-high 27 snaps on defense against the Panthers in Week 7, and he flashed the versatility that made him a third-round pick (No. 73) in April's NFL Draft, surrendering 2 receptions and registering 2 PBUs.

There, footage that has gone viral appears to show Flacco on the receiving end of a questionable action from Steelers star Cam Heyward. On first pass, it looks, well, not great. But the fact that it didn’t really gain traction during the game itself sort of speaks to what a nothing-burger it probably really is.
