In Week 6 of NFL action, the Browns are taking on the Steelers and the Bengals play the Packers. Here's how Columbus-area NFL fans can watch
Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase was asked about what Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said about the Browns trading Joe Flacco to Cincinnati.
Cincinnati (2-3) is coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions and Green Bay (2-1-1) is coming off a bye week. Quarterback Joe Flacco will start for the Bengals and if Cincinnati wins he'd be the only quarterback in the Super Bowl era to beat the same team twice in a season playing for different teams – Flacco and the Cleveland Browns beat the Packers in Week 3.
Per Rapoport, the Bengals' "exhaustive" search involved "calling nearly all teams with three quarterbacks or a viable practice squad option," which led them to inquire about Texans' QB2 Davis Mills, Eagles' QB3 Sam Howell and even former Saints QB Derek Carr, who retired over the offseason.
Zac Taylor praised Joe Flacco's ability to adapt beyond the planned offensive strategy, highlighting an impressive connection with star receiver Ja'Marr Chase despite minimal practice time together.
