Josh Jacobs, who said he vomited several times on the sideline while fighting the flu, ran for 93 yards and two touchdowns to carry Green Bay past Cincinnati 27-18 at Lambeau Field. Joe Flacco, starting for a sixth NFL team in his Bengals debut one day after being acquired from Cleveland, nearly erased a 240-65 first-half yardage deficit before Lucas Havrisik — signed to the active roster the previous day after Brandon McManus was held out with a quadricep injury — converted a 39-yard field goal with 1:52 remaining to seal it.

Havrisik made field goals of 43 and 39 yards in his first NFL appearance since a 2023 stint with the Los Angeles Rams. McPherson missed a 56-yard attempt wide right with 41 seconds remaining; his 67-yard attempt to end the first half fell short of the crossbar and would have set an NFL record.

Cincinnati dropped its fourth consecutive game and failed to score before halftime for the fourth straight week — a stretch that dated to Joe Burrow’s season-ending turf toe injury in Week 2. Green Bay, which had surrendered 10-point leads in a Week 3 loss at Cleveland and a 13-0 advantage in a Week 4 tie at Dallas, won behind a first half in which it outgained the Bengals 240-65 and never trailed. Flacco, who completed 29 of 45 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception, became the eighth quarterback since at least 1950 to start against the same opponent twice in one season while playing for two different teams — but unlike Jack Kemp, who went 2-0 against the AFL’s New York Titans for the Bills and Chargers in 1962, Flacco finished his season against Green Bay at 1-1.
