Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco suffered a hand injury during the fourth quarter of the team's NFL Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots at Paycor Stadium. Flacco was replaced by backup Jake Browning, who completed one pass. Flacco returned to the game a short time later, with his pointer finger on his throwing hand taped.

This might be the last we see of Flacco in stripes, with Joe Burrow potentially returning on Thanksgiving vs. the Ravens.

The Bengals were desperate for a spark when they traded with the Cleveland Browns to get veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to Cincinnati. After three abysmal starts from Jake Browning, the Bengals turned to Flacco as a lifeline for the 2025 season.

Zac Taylor defended his decision to sit Joe Burrow one more week despite Joe Flacco struggling again on Sunday (19-37 for 183 yards, one score and one pick-six, 63.2 passer rating). Flacco was abysmal again on Sunday as the luster has clearly worn off on his backup shine. Taylor is adamant the Bengals "haven't lost a game because of Joe Flacco."

Joe Burrow will remain sidelined for the Cincinnati Bengals' game against the New England Patriots on Sunday despite being a full practice participant this week.

Is Joe Burrow playing today? The Bengals quarterback is set to take the field for the first time since suffering a turf toe injury in Week 2.

CINCINNATI — Joe Flacco rolled out another horrific performance for the Bengals on Sunday as the season cratered further to 3-8 overall with a 26-20 loss to the Patriots.

Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback Joe Flacco said he would like an opportunity to start for a team next season as Joe Burrow's return from injury appears imminent.
