Summary
The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed quarterback Joe Flacco to a one-year deal worth $6 million, with incentives that could bring the total value to $9 million. Flacco, 41, played six starts for the Bengals and completed 61.7% of his passes for 1,664 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. He played through a sprained AC joint in his shoulder and was looking to find a starting job in free agency, but ultimately returned to the Bengals.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Flacco’s career has been marked by slow starts, late pushes, and injuries mentioned at convenient times.
He’s not the flashiest quarterback, but he’s a reliable veteran who can lead the offense at a high level.
The Bengals’ offense averaged over 27 points per game with Flacco behind center, which is impressive considering the team’s 1-5 record in his six starts.
This one felt recognizable early, with Flacco playing through pain and uncertainty about his future in the NFL.
Original Observation: The Bengals are banking on Joe Burrow’s health, which is always a gamble in the NFL.
