The Read: Flacco returns to Cincinnati because the first rescue mission proved he can still operate a real NFL passing game. After the October trade, he threw 13 touchdowns against four interceptions for the Bengals, kept Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins productive, set a career high with 470 yards against Chicago, and reached his first Pro Bowl. Cincinnati answered with one year and $6 million, plus incentives to $9 million.
