Bengals in catbird seat with Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson sidelined, Flacco in Cincy

Glenn Adams of Stripe Hype argues that the Cincinnati Bengals hold a major advantage in the AFC North due to their stable quarterback room while division rivals Baltimore and Cleveland face significant injury turmoil at the position. With Joe Flacco serving as an experienced backup in Cincinnati, the Bengals have stability that their divisional opponents currently lack as the season progresses.

The Baltimore Ravens lost Lamar Jackson to a dislocated thumb and Tyler Huntley to turf toe, forcing Joe Fagnano to start while reportedly acquiring Jacoby Brissett. Meanwhile, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson entered concussion protocol, leaving rookie Shedeur Sanders to start against the New Orleans Saints.
