The AFC North had quite the shake-up on Tuesday afternoon with the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals orchestrating a rare inter-division trade.

Per Ian Rapoport, the Browns are trading Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals. Dianna Russini adds that the Bengals are sending a fifth-round pick to Cleveland and getting a sixth-round pick with Flacco.

Cincinnati had been the subject of awful quarterback play since losing Joe Burrow to a turf toe injury in Week 3, as Jake Browning has thrown a staggering eight interceptions in four games this season. After three consecutive losses, all of which were blowouts, the Bengals made the move.

The Steelers will play the Browns in Week 6. Should Dillon Gabriel go down with injury, the Steelers would see Shedeur Sanders.
