Bengals' offensive star weighs in on adding veteran QB Joe Flacco image

This season has been a tough one for the Cincinnati Bengals and their fan base. They lost their QB, Joe Burrow. He got hurt in their Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars

Burrow is currently dealing with a Grade 3 turf toe, which required surgery. He is expected to miss at least three months, which is a good chunk of the season. 

Cincinnati went with backup QB Jake Browning, but he has struggled. With not much confidence behind center, the team acquired Joe Flacco in a trade with the Cleveland Browns

Under Browning, Chase Brown has not been able to get much going. He has yet to rush for at least 50 yards in a single game this season, but believes his luck will change with Flacco under center. He spoke his mind about the trade with Local 12's Yanni Tragellis via Sports Illustrated

"Joe Flacco had a ton of success throughout his career," said Brown. "I watched him as a kid while he was playing in Baltimore, and you know, watching him play on that team was a lot of fun. So it'll be cool getting to know him and seeing how he plays. And you know, he was able to get some things rolling for Cleveland."

Flacco will not only be a sight for sore eyes for Brown, but he should also make the receiving core of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins much happier, as their jobs could get easier with Flacco throwing the ball.
