so painful for cleveland browns and fans watch as their big star talented key player joe flacco depart from the team to join….
It’s challenging to fully capture the thrill experienced by Cleveland fans as they witnessed Joe Flacco’s nostalgic resurgence this season. With Deshaun Watson sidelined, both P.J. Walker and Dorian Thompson-Robinson had their opportunities to lead the offense. While the Browns managed to secure victories, the offensive spark was notably absent.
However, everything changed when Flacco took the reins in Week 13. Despite the eventual loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the 38-year-old quarterback threw for 254 yards and two touchdowns, hinting at the potential for something extraordinary. This became evident in the subsequent game.
Flacco guided Cleveland to a 31-27 triumph over the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking the first of four consecutive victories. It also marked the beginning of a remarkable stretch for Flacco, who achieved four consecutive games with over 300 yards, never recording fewer than two touchdown passes in a regular-season start for the Browns.
By the end of the season, Flacco accumulated 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns, leading his newfound team to a 4-1 record. He instilled hope among fans for a potential playoff run, but unfortunately, that optimism waned quickly. In the postseason loss to the Houston Texans, Flacco threw two pick-sixes in the second half, bringing an end to their magical season.
