Joe Flacco, still elite
Joe Flacco may not be good for 17 games, but he is going to be great for 4 to 5 games.
I was actually smiling last night watching Flacco with Chase n Higgins ball out an win...
Flacco is the ultimate professional. He's quiet and goes about his business.
Thank you Cleveland. Sincerely, Who Dey Nation!
I saw terrible coverage, and horrendous tackling.
Not a team fan..but..I love the Flacco story!!!!
Collin yesterday. "After tonight the Steelers will be 5-1".
Flacco goes from throwing to the Browns receivers to the Bengals receivers. He’s rejuvenated
This was better than a Super Bowl!❤
