Packers vs. Bengals live updates: Score, analysis, stats, highlights for Week 6
Joe Flacco makes his debut for Cincinnati against Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers
Forty-year-old quarterback Joe Flacco will start for the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) on Sunday in Week 6 after being acquired in a trade from the Cleveland Browns on Thursday of a Week 6 matchup with the Green Bay Packers (2-1-1).
That makes Flacco the first QB age 40 or older to start for multiple teams in a season since at least 1950, and funny enough, Sunday won't be his first start versus the Packers in 2025. Flacco's Browns triumphed over Green Bay 13-10 in Week 3 after Cleveland blocked the Packers' go-ahead field goal attempt to set up their own game-winning field goal. He threw for 142 yards and an interception on 21 for 36 passing in a defensive slugfest.
Flacco's six interceptions rank as the third-most in the league, and he averages the second-worst expected points added (EPA) per play (-0.72) when pressure this season, which isn't a great combination with a Bengals offensive line that is allowing the second-highest quarterback pressure rate (42%) in the NFL this season.
It's even worse when factoring in that Cincinnati will have to block Packers All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, whose 25 quarterback pressures rank as the seventh-most in the NFL this season, and Packers Pro Bowl edge rusher Rashan Gary, whose 4.5 sacks are tied for the seventh-most in the NFL this season, fresh off of a Week 5 bye. Offensively for Green Bay, their backfield of quarterback Jordan Love and running Josh Jacobs is on fire: Love has thrown for 17 passing touchdowns and only 1 interception across his last 11 games, and Jacobs has 20 total touchdowns in 21 games with the Packers.
