Flacco was recently benched by Cleveland in place of Dillon Gabriel, and with the Bengals’ quarterback situation, it became apparent that Flacco might be expendable.

In four games this season, Flacco completed 58.1% of his passes for 815 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions.

Browning took the place of Burrow following his turf toe injury in Week 2, which will cause him to be out until at least December. He threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns in his first game of the season (against three picks) but threw for only 265 yards in his next two combined.

Browning bounced back against the Detroit Lions on Sunday with 251 yards, three touchdowns and three more picks, but it was not enough in their 37-24 loss.
