The Cincinnati Bengals got back in the win column in Week 7 with recent trade pickup and current starting quarterback Joe Flacco logging his first win with the team.

Soon the 2012 Super Bowl champion and MVP could reap greater individual rewards from his stint as Cincinnati's new starter.

While the Bengals likely hope Flacco is merely a stopgap until starter Joe Burrow returns, the 40-year-old has an incentive to hope his stay under center lasts as long as possible thanks to language in his contract.

The former Baltimore Ravens first-round pick (No. 18 overall in 2008) is on a one-year, $4.2 million contract , and he has earned $183.6 million in his 17-plus-year career. But he could make himself even richer if he remains Cincinnati's starter.
