Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco talked to reporters Nov. 19 after watching starter Joe Burrow do 11-on-11 work for the first time since returning to practice, while Flacco took the day off from throwing.

“I think just being in Ohio, you can just tell how much football means to people in this part of the country,” Flacco said. “From the time they’re probably young … you can tell they care about it a lot. And they have those expectations. And they get themselves excited to come in and cheer for us in those games. I’ve played here a good amount. And honestly I’ve probably missed that part of it a little bit. But when you’re here, you kind of walk around the city and you get to see people from here. You can tell how into it they are. Just with the little “Who Dey”s on the side of the road and things like that. I’m not quite sure how to respond yet. I still feel a little funny saying it. But I’m getting there.”
