Overview

• Head coach Kevin Stefanski reaffirmed that Joe Flacco starts against the Packers and said the staff is not focused on making Dillon Gabriel the starter this week.
• Local insiders now suggest Flacco’s job could be in jeopardy if he struggles on Sunday, with one report saying this game might be his last as the No. 1 if the offense stalls.
• Multiple analysts project a potential transition target around Week 7 on October 19, citing a harsh opening schedule that includes London travel and several 2024 playoff opponents.
• Rookie Dillon Gabriel went 3-for-3 for 19 yards and a touchdown in late relief in Week 2, and some expect he could enter again if the Packers take control early.
• Flacco has 489 passing yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions through two games, as public criticism mounts from voices like LeSean McCoy and Steve Harvey, though Flacco says job security is not on his mind.
