After helping to get the Cincinnati Bengals' season back on track last week, Joe Flacco gets to face another of his former teams. The 18-year veteran makes his third start for the Bengals on Sunday when they host the New York Jets.

Joe Flacco is making the most of his solo season in Ohio. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, the new Bengals quarterback — who arrived in Cincinnati earlier this month after a shocking trade with the division rival Browns — spoke about navigating life without his family, which is currently stationed in New Jersey.

With a lot of help from a Pittsburgh staff that committed gameplan malpractice (more on that later), Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins sliced up the tinfoil curtain like a pair of scissors in Week 7.

"Anquan Boldin," Flacco said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals .com. "Hands-wise, when he had people on him, you could throw the ball around him and knew that he was going to go fight for the football and be able to catch it with his hands."

Joe Flacco could earn some exra money if he continues to start for the Benagls with Joe Burrow still sidelined.
