Here is more on what Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said about the Browns GM trading away Joe Flacco to the Bengals.

The Bengals’ hope in acquiring Joe Flacco last week was to find a quarterback capable of making the layups. The Cincinnati coaching staff felt that consistently being behind the sticks under backup quarterback Jake Browning played a large role in making the offense non-functional.

It's rare that you see a coach make the kind of remarks Mike Tomlin did about the Browns' "shocking" decision to trade Joe Flacco within the division, but word has officially gotten back to the veteran QB.

On Monday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin chided the Browns for the "shocking" decision to trade quarterback Joe Flacco in the division.

Flacco was certainly an upgrade at quarterback over Browning and he proved that he might be able to save their season, but the problem is that he's only going to have three days to do it. The 2-5 Bengals will be hosting the 4-1 Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night in what is essentially a must-win game for Cincinnati.

Just five days after he was acquired in a trade with Cleveland, Flacco passed for 219 yards and two touchdowns in his Cincinnati debut. The Bengals lost 27-18 at Green Bay on Sunday, but they pushed the Packers all the way to the very end.
