Get ready to relive one of the most unexpected feel-good stories in recent NFL history. Joe Flacco, the veteran quarterback who sparked the Cincinnati Bengals' offense last season, is trading his helmet for a Hollywood spotlight.
Flacco will be one of four featured stars in Season 3 of Netflix's hit docuseries "Quarterback," premiering July 14. The show, produced by NFL Films and Omaha Productions, offers an all-access pass into the lives of NFL signal-callers both on and off the field. Joining Flacco in the lineup are Washington Commanders' Jayden Daniels, Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield, and Tennessee Titans' Cam Ward.
This season promises to be particularly compelling for Bengals fans. Cameras followed Flacco throughout his 18th NFL season, which turned into one of the league's most captivating narratives. After Bengals star Joe Burrow suffered a toe injury that sidelined him for nine games, Cincinnati made a bold move: they traded a fifth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Flacco in October 2025, also receiving a sixth-round pick in return.
What happened next was nothing short of remarkable. Flacco started six games and appeared in nine for the Bengals, completing 251 of 416 passes for 2,479 yards and 15 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. His performance was so impressive that he earned his first-ever Pro Bowl selection at age 40—a testament to his enduring talent and resilience.
While Flacco initially hoped to find a starting role elsewhere for the 2026 season, the offseason didn't unfold as planned. Ultimately, he re-signed with the Bengals to serve as Burrow's backup, citing the positive experience he had in Cincinnati. For fans who couldn't get enough of the "Joe Flacco experience" last year, this Netflix series will be the perfect way to dive deeper into his remarkable journey.
Whether you're a die-hard Bengals fan or just love a good underdog story, "Quarterback" Season 3 is shaping up to be must-watch TV this summer.
