Flacco takes his No. 2 place here retaining his title as the Bengals’ oldest player ever in front of No. 3 Josh Johnson, just signed to a one-year deal Sunday two months before he turns 40. They were teammates in the Baltimore offseason of 2015, as well as briefly with the Jets during the 2021 season.<\/p>\n
“No surprise to me when Joe balled out,” said Johnson of Flacco’s run last year. “No surprise at all.”<\/p>\n
Flacco is 14th on the all-time passing yards list, just 1,824 shy of 50,000 yards, and he’s 21st on the all-time touchdown passes list, one back of Joe Montana’s 273.<\/p>\n
But the numbers didn’t seem to matter when he talked about it late last season.<\/p>\n
“Go into my 19th year. It’s what I do man,” Flacco said. “I’m a football player. Keep it going.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Flacco takes his No. 2 place here retaining his title as the Bengals’ oldest player ever in front…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[54639,243056,181502,25679,399,6403,42454,32304,829,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-544318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-54639","tag-2026-fa-rumors","tag-2026-free-agency","tag-centerpiece","tag-football","tag-free-agency","tag-hobson","tag-latest-stories","tag-latest-news","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544318","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=544318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
