Packers Beat Bengals 27-18 as Flacco Debuts and Cincinnati Shows Late Offensive Life

Flacco’s second-half surge offered a potential path forward during Joe Burrow’s absence.

Overview

  • In his first start since an in-division trade, Joe Flacco went 29-of-45 for 219 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers after a sluggish first half.
  • Cincinnati cut into a 10-point halftime deficit with a 16-play drive capped by a Tanner Hudson touchdown, then pulled within one score on Ja'Marr Chase’s late 19-yard grab.
  • Chase, listed as questionable with an illness, played and posted 10 receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown.
  • Green Bay improved to 3-1-1 behind a balanced attack and fourth-quarter scores, outgaining Cincinnati 409-268, while the loss dropped the Bengals to 2-4.
  • The Bengals reported new injuries to Trey Hendrickson (back), Mike Gesicki and Amarius Mims, and they turn quickly to a Thursday divisional game against the Steelers.
