Bengals QB Joe Flacco Sets Franchise Records in Historic Two-Game NFL Start

Joe Flacco, a veteran NFL quarterback and Super Bowl XLVII MVP, has been making a significant impact since joining the Cincinnati Bengals, marking his fifth team since 2019. Despite his age, Flacco has adapted well to the Bengals’ offense, particularly connecting with star receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, overcoming initial nerves to deliver strong performances that helped the Bengals secure wins. Flacco’s contract includes performance incentives, rewarding him for wins where he plays a majority of offensive snaps, which could significantly increase his earnings this season. Under Flacco’s leadership, the Bengals have achieved a notable streak of games without turnovers, a rare feat in franchise history, which underscores the improved offensive discipline. His statistical output through his first two starts with the Bengals is historically remarkable, with metrics such as total yards, completion percentage, and touchdowns placing him in a unique position among NFL quarterbacks. This resurgence has reignited hopes for the Bengals’ playoff prospects this season, especially as they await the return of starter Joe Burrow.
