Bengals QB Joe Flacco named to AFC roster for 2026 Pro Bowl

Bengals QB Joe Flacco has been added to the AFC roster for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games. This marks the first career Pro Bowl selection for Flacco.

An 18th-year veteran in 2025, Flacco played in 13 total games with 10 starts, completing 251 of 416 passes for 2479 yards and 15 TDs with 10 INTs. He started the first four games of the season for Cleveland, then was acquired by Cincinnati in a trade on Oct. 7 and started six contests for the Bengals.

From his first Bengals start in Week 6 through his final start in Week 12, Flacco ranked second in the NFL in completions (154), tied for third in TD passes (13) and fifth in passing yards (1636). That stretch included a career-high 470 passing yards in Week 9 vs. Chicago, and a 342-yard, three-TD performance in the team’s Week 7 win over Pittsburgh.

Flacco becomes the seventh QB in Bengals history to be named a Pro Bowler. He joins WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins as Cincinnati’s Pro Bowl selections for the 2025 season.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games take place on Tuesday, Feb. 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif., and will be televised live on ESPN.

This a positive story in the grand scheme of things. Yes, the Bengals were reeling after QB Joe Burrow was injured. I just like the professionalism and effort from Joe Flacco.
