“He’s a hell of a player,” Flacco said of Hendrickson to reporters Wednesday. “I’ve gone against him multiple times, and he’s going to make his presence felt. You know, players like that, they usually find a way to do that. So, once again, for us, it just goes back to fundamentals, playing within ourselves, obviously, having a plan to take care of that, and then not overreacting if he makes a play here and there. Just getting back to the core part of the game plan and trying to take care of as much as we can.”
At age 40, Flacco makes his 192nd NFL start on a day he’s closer in age to 56-year-old Al Golden, making his debut as the Bengals defensive coordinator, than Flacco is to the youngest Bengal, 21-year-old rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart in his own NFL debut.
Take a look at the injury reports of the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns heading into Week 1 of the 2025 season.
“There is always some kind of issue there and not much accountability,” one agent wrote. “This offseason, the contract negotiation for Trey Hendrickson and the language in the contract of their first-round pick are great examples. Every agent knows what’s coming.”
“I feel amazing,” Higgins said. “Last year, Friday was the time I got the injury. It was so crazy because we had the interview on Thursday and I got hurt the next day. But I’m not gonna speak that into existence.“It’s in the past, and I feel good,” he added. “I’m ready for Sunday.”
“I can’t sit here and say I’m ‘buying’ the Cincinnati Bengals’ defense right now, but I’m definitely buying their offense again. Joe Burrow has a case as the best quarterback in the NFL, even though there are no fewer than three legitimate MVP candidates in his own conference. Burrow was on a different plane last year as a quarterback, and as good as he already was, it’s clear that the game is slowing down for him year after year. The Bengals need to figure something out defensively, but with Burrow under center, they should be in most every game, even if they are shootouts.”
