Joe Flacco to Wear Number 16 Jersey for Bengals

The Bengals acquired veteran QB Joe Flacco to improve their offense, becoming the 10th player to wear number 19; team holds a 2-3 record amid quarterback struggles.

  • On Tuesday, the Cincinnati Bengals traded for quarterback Joe Flacco, sending a 2026 fifth-round pick to Cleveland and receiving Flacco plus a 2026 sixth-round pick.
  • Facing offensive struggles, the Cincinnati Bengals brought in Joe Flacco to spark an offense that underperformed with backup Jake Browning after Joe Burrow's Week Two turf toe and three consecutive losses.
  • In four starts this season, Joe Flacco has completed 93 of 160 passes for 815 yards, two TDs, and six interceptions for Cleveland Browns.
  • Wednesday morning the Bengals posted a video showing Joe Flacco's name in black and orange, captioned `Hot off the press,' revealing he will wear number 16, though his Sunday play remains unconfirmed.
  • That start would make him the seventh QB since at least 1950 to face the same opponent twice in a season with a different team, as the Bengals sit at 2-3.
