Last week, quarterback Joe Flacco was a member of the Cleveland Browns. However, a lot can happen in just one week.
Earlier this week, the Cincinnati Bengals made a move to bring Flacco to Cincinnati. The Bengals’ offense has floundered since losing Joe Burrow to another injury.

Now, the Bengals are counting on a 40-year-old Super Bowl MVP to give them a fighting chance to make the postseason, which was something Flacco did for the Browns just a few years ago.
Flacco spoke with the media about trying to learn everything within the Bengals’ playbook before his first start on Sunday. The new Cincinnati quarterback said his wife even quizzed him on his new playbook.
“I’ve never had my wife read stuff out to me. But the other night, sitting in the hotel, I did have her read some of the base game plan to me, and have me repeat it back to her. She didn’t do bad,” said Flacco.

After Sunday, Flacco will have played for three teams in the AFC North. Also, a win on Sunday would put Flacco in some elite territory.
Flacco beat the Green Bay Packers with the Browns earlier this season, and he would have to be one of the rare quarterbacks to win a game against the same opponent twice, and that team not be a divisional foe.
