CINCINNATI — The Bengals are hoping to snap a three-game losing streak on Sunday when they play the Packers in Green Bay.

Cincinnati enters the game with a 2-3 record. They've lost three-straight games. Meanwhile, the Packers are 2-1-1. They lost to Joe Flacco and the Browns on Sept 21 and then tied the Cowboys in Week 4. They had their bye in Week 5.

Packers star pass rusher Micah Parsons believes Sunday's game against the Bengals "should be a statement win."

"You should be pissed off. Like, you're sitting down pissed off," Parsons said. "We just gave up 40 points and we're talking about we can't give up 20 and how we shouldn't lose games. Well, that's how you lose games. So we should be pissed off. We should be ready to come out here, play Sunday regardless of who's playing and whoop some butt if you're really dogs. That's how I come, that's how I look at it. Like, we really say who we want to be. We should take that last, how we finished last, and we should punish these guys and we should want to leave a statement. Like, it should be a statement win, should be a statement on defense. I just think it's a statement. These guys should be pissed off because I was pissed off."

It's reasonable for Parsons to feel that way, even if it could and probably will give the Bengals a little bulletin board material ahead of Sunday's game. They want to bounce back after a win-less stretch.

Meanwhile, Flacco is hoping to beat the Packers for a second time in three weeks. The Bengals traded for the veteran quarterback earlier this week. He'll start on Sunday in Green Bay.

Flacco posted a 1-3 record in four starts with the Browns this season. He has two touchdowns and six interceptions. He's hoping to bounce back in a big way starting on Sunday against the Packers.

"I didn’t take care of the ball as well as I wanted to," Flacco admits. "A couple unfortunate interceptions turn into other ones that you did make mistakes on. You just kind of get stuck in that. That’s probably the thing that stands out. I think this is a great opportunity to get back out there and prove the opposite."

The Bengals have to deal with a hungry Packers team that also wants to bounce back. Watch video of Parsons below:
