Joe Flacco felt young in the lead-up to the Bengals' Thursday Night Football game against the Steelers in Week 7. While he probably felt all of his nearly 41 years after taking a few hits from the Pittsburgh defense, he came into the matchup against the Steelers as the game's younger starting quarterback for the first time in years.
A combined 84 years and 226 days old on Oct. 16, this was the second-oldest starting quarterback matchup in NFL history. With Rodgers turning 42 in the beginning of December, he's older than Flacco, which is something the new Bengals quarterback hasn't experienced since 2020.
