Green Bay, WI — With the quarterback spot still unsettled, the Cincinnati Bengals are weighing Sean Clifford, a former Green Bay Packers draft pick, as a potential “silver bullet” at Lambeau Field this weekend. Clifford, a 2023 fifth-round selection by the Packers, spent his rookie season backing up Jordan Love before moving to Cincinnati, giving him familiarity with the Green Bay environment and in-game operations. According to team indications, if Clifford is tapped to start, he would likely be paired with a tailored script: quick-game throws, simplified play-action, and half-rollouts designed to limit turnovers and control tempo. On the Packers’ side, the defensive emphasis will be on setting the edge, forcing outside throws, and varying post-snap pressure to disrupt the quarterback’s first read. Sean Clifford: “Returning to Lambeau is a terrific feeling; I miss my time here. They gave me things I haven’t found elsewhere. But this time, we’re opponents — I respect the fans and this organization, and the best way to show that respect is to play my hardest and help Cincinnati leave here with a win.” The Bengals’ final call at quarterback is expected closer to kickoff, but preparing a Clifford-specific plan gives the staff added tactical leverage. With a result badly needed to build momentum, Cincinnati is banking on the element of surprise from a familiar face in Green Bay to swing the game’s pivotal moments.
