Bengals' Zac Taylor announces Joe Flacco as the starter for Week 6
The Cincinnati Bengals , at 2-3, aren't far off from the Pittsburgh Steelers at 3-1 for the division lead. With Joe Burrow sidelined until much later this season, the Bengals needed to find an alternative to Jake Browning, who was struggling mightily in weeks 3-5.
Fortunately, the in-division rival Cleveland Browns had a veteran quarterback at the ready in Joe Flacco. The two rivals swapped draft picks, which allowed the Bengals to bring in a new quarterback.
During Zac Taylor's press conference ahead of week six, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic shared the major announcement that Flacco, less than a week after being acquired, is the Bengals' starting quarterback for their week six matchup
