The Cincinnati Bengals have lost each of their last three games without star quarterback Joe Burrow, who remains sidelined with a toe injury. As they get ready for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers, the team will now look to their recent addition, Joe Flacco, as the starting quarterback.
The Packers had a bye last week, but before then, their last game ended in a 40-40 tie with the Dallas Cowboys, a game that saw quarterback Jordan Love pass for 337 yards and three touchdowns.
Here, we will look at which players are projected to start for both the Bengals and the Packers in their late-afternoon game at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
