Matt and Willie Know Ball, but even we did not see this one coming.
The Bengals made a big splash by adding a veteran quarterback who knows the AFC North as well as anyone.
Flacco was once a Super Bowl MVP, but has become a journeyman bridge quarterback who produces for teams just to be replaced. Now he has crossed over into full-on mercenary mode, as he comes in to save the Bengals’ season.
The Bengals have a Herculean task ahead of them as they head to Green Bay, but hey, Flacco has already beaten the Packers this season. After that, the Bengals have some winnable games on the horizon. They have two matchups with the Steelers coming up, which could determine their fate. (Who would have guessed that the AFC Championship would go through Pittsburgh of all places?)
Then, what was once considered the most challenging part of the Bengals’ schedule comes as they play the Ravens twice in 18 days, with the Buffalo Bills sandwiched in the middle. Oh, and by the way, the first of those matchups with Baltimore happens to be on the road on a short week. No biggy.
Well, the Ravens aren’t looking so tough all of the sudden, as their injury report grows like it just made a wish on a Zoltar machine. Could Flacco take care of business against the team he took to the Super Bowl all those years ago?
