Joe Flacco had a cheeky message for Aaron Rodgers after their ‘Thursday Night Football’ clash and, fortunately for everyone, it was all caught on camera.

The veteran quarterbacks squared off in a game dubbed the “Unc Bowl,” given their combined age of over 80 years. Rodgers turns 42 in December, while Flacco’s birthday follows in January, with the Cincinnati Bengals QB set to turn 41.

Given the Bengals’ current state, the Pittsburgh Steelers were expected to win this one. The fixture was also not expected to be as thrilling as it turned out to be, but it was a ‘TNF’ outing for the ages… pun intended.

Flacco helped his new team to a marginal 33-31 win on the night and had an admission for Rodgers after the game, telling his counterpart he believed it was the “first time I got you.”

You can see the wholesome interaction in the clip below:

Joe Flacco’s Big Win Vindicates Bengals But Leaves Browns Looking Silly

Flacco began the season with the Cleveland Browns but was traded to the Bengals earlier this month.

He’s probably going to attain legendary status in Cincy, much like he did in another Ohio city after leading the Browns to the playoffs two seasons ago, with fans now calling for GM Andrew Berry’s head.

He threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns in the win, which turned out to be a clutch one as Rodgers had fired the Steelers to a late lead with an incredible 68-yard throw to Pat Freiermuth after sniffing smelling salts.

While it may have inspired the throw, the inhalant wasn’t enough for A-Rod to withstand the force of a 300-pound teammate tackling him while he celebrated.

As for Flacco, trading for him always seemed a sound decision; the statement win definitely helps.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
