They traded for quarterback Joe Flacco and the move has been met with a stamp of approval from wide receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase. <\/p>\n<p>Chase called Flacco an \u201call-time great\u201d who can still play on Thursday and said he was thankful that the organization made a move to try to send their season in another direction. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appreciate the organization <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bengals.com\/news\/ja-marr-chase-tee-higgins-welcome-joe-flacco-with-open-arms-he-s-still-getting-it-out-there\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">trying to make this work<\/a>. So we\u2019ve got to make it work,\u201d Chase said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cThey just see that we\u2019ve got a chance. Defense is doing a good enough job to help us out. Ultimately, we\u2019ve got to have plays in space. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve seen. That\u2019s what they wanted to keep going. They\u2019ve just given us an opportunity to make more of those plays happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flacco\u2019s arrival has elicited a warm reaction, but he is coming off being benched in Cleveland and that will lead to some doubts that he can be the savior of a Bengals season that felt like it was circling the drain before his arrival. Answers to how things will play out will start to come against the Packers on Sunday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bengals came into the 2025 season with high hopes for making a return to the playoffs, but&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214302,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-214301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
