Packers-Bengals game preview
FOX6 Sports Director Tim Van Vooren is at Lambeau Field with a look ahead to the Packers-Bengals game. Can the Packers get back in the W column after a loss and a tie?
GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Packers look to start building momentum when they host the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 12.
Come kickoff, it will have been more than a month since they last won a game.
This game will be the second time in three games that the Packers will face quarterback Joe Flacco. The veteran, who quarterbacked the Cleveland Browns in a Week 3 win over Green Bay, was traded to the Bengals this week. Cincinnati has since named Flacco their starting quarterback.
Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m.
