Get ready, Bengals fans—the Joe Flacco story is coming to a screen near you, and it’s going to be one for the books.
If you were glued to your seat watching the veteran quarterback step in and deliver for Cincinnati last season, you’ll want to mark your calendars. Flacco is set to star in Season 3 of Netflix’s hit docuseries Quarterback, which drops on July 14. He’ll share the spotlight with a star-studded lineup: Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans.
Produced by NFL Films and Omaha Enterprises (the company founded by Peyton Manning), the show gives fans an all-access pass to the lives of these signal-callers—both on the field and behind closed doors. It’s a format that’s already proven popular, with Bengals’ own Joe Burrow headlining the 2023 season.
For Flacco, the timing couldn’t be better. Cameras followed him through his 18th NFL season, which turned into one of the league’s most compelling comeback stories. After Burrow went down with a toe injury in October 2025, the Bengals made a bold move, trading a fifth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns to bring the Super Bowl-winning quarterback to Cincinnati. Flacco stepped in and didn’t just hold the fort—he thrived.
Over six starts and nine appearances, Flacco completed 251 of 416 passes for 2,479 yards and 15 touchdowns, with just 10 interceptions. His gritty, efficient play earned him a trip to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career—a remarkable achievement for a player many had written off.
Though Flacco initially hoped to land a starting gig elsewhere for the 2026 season, the market didn’t play out as planned. Instead, he chose to re-sign with the Bengals, eager to serve as Burrow’s backup after such a positive experience in Cincinnati.
From trade rumors to Pro Bowl glory, this is a story of resilience you won’t want to miss. Grab your favorite Bengals gear and get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the NFL’s most unforgettable seasons.
