Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco has a dream setup that could extend his career into his 40s! In a thrilling 33-31 victory over the Steelers, Flacco praised the exceptional talent of his wide receivers, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who are giving opposing defenses nightmares.
Flacco, reflecting on the win, said, "It's an absolute blast! These are the games we live for. It was a nail-biter right until the end, and I couldn't be prouder of our team." But here's where it gets interesting: Flacco believes the key to his motivation lies in the dynamic duo of Chase and Higgins.
"When I joined Cincinnati, I immediately saw something special in those two," Flacco revealed. "And in our recent game, it became crystal clear how they can wreak havoc on defenses. If you don't give them the attention they deserve, they'll make you pay. But if you double-team them, our other players step up. It's a win-win situation."
Chase and Higgins dominated the Steelers' defense, with Chase racking up 16 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown, and Higgins contributing 6 catches for 96 yards and a score. Higgins even showed his awareness by sliding to run down the clock instead of scoring late in the game, setting up the Bengals' game-winning field goal.
Flacco is thrilled to have such talented receivers, stating, "They're truly exceptional. Being able to connect with them on the field is a quarterback's dream come true."
