CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said newly acquired quarterback Joe Flacco will start Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
Despite the Bengals only getting Flacco on Tuesday, coach Taylor said the veteran quarterback is prepared for Green Bay since he played the Packers back in Week 3.
Taylor said he talked with Flacco on the phone Tuesday as he was driven down from Cleveland.
“We just tried to cover all the base pieces of information: Personnel, run game plan, and it’s stuff he knows and is familiar with,” Taylor said of their phone call.
> Zac Taylor: We have to be mindful that he hasn't been with us for a full camp, but we're doing everything we can to have enough ready to win a football game.

> "He's a great passer. The No. 1 trait you're looking for is a guy who can operate your system and throw the football."
