Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco has been sacked by Myles Garrett and has been a teammate of Garrett in Cleveland, and Flacco knows it's much better to be playing with Garrett than against him. The news that Garrett is no longer a division rival after he was traded from the Browns to the Rams on Monday was met with approval by Flacco. " Good for us ," Flacco said, via Bengals.com. The Bengals' two starting offensive tackles, Amarius Mims and Orlando Brown Jr., both saw the trade as good for the Rams and good for Garrett. "I'm pretty sure anybody practicing today at the time we were practicing, no matter what it was, I assure you every team got a hold of that news," Mims said. "It's huge when you get a guy like Myles Garrett, a future Hall of Famer. It's going to be a buzz. Congrats to those guys." Brown said it's a good deal for Garrett to go to a contender, but that the Bengals can't be concerned about what other teams are doing. "It doesn't matter. You still have to go win on Sundays. Congrats to Myles. That's how I feel. We still have to go win," Brown said. With Garrett gone, the Bengals' task of winning twice against the Browns this year gets a little easier.
