Browns QB Joe Flacco added to his impressive list of wins.Weeks after being fired as quarterback of the Cleveland Browns.
Joe Flacco went on to earn a starting gig for the rest of the season and earn his name in the NFL record books.
Flacco led the Browns to their 100th career win with a 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
He became the 19th QB in history to reach 100 wins and the 10th in the Hall of Fame.
Tom Brady (251), who heads to Canton soon after, still holds the all-time record with 251 wins.
The 16-year vet looked like his old self in Week 14, completing 26 of 45 for 311 yards with three touchdowns and an interception.
According to Stathead, Flacco is the 14th QB over 38 to throw for at least 311 yards and three touchdowns in a game and the first since Brady (2022) to have 31 such games in his career.
The Browns improved to 8-5 with the win over the Jaguars, and after the game, coach Kevin Stefanski named Flacco the starter for the final four games of the regular season.
Despite the good news, Flacco credited the Browns’ defense with the win, calling their performance “empty” and saying he’ll have to rely on it the rest of the way.
He humbly admits that being back on the field makes him feel young again.
“There were a lot of times when I felt like a 10-year-old kid,”
Flacco told CBS Sports’ Evan Washburn.
“It asks us to remember how special it is to be able to play this game.”
Without QB Deshaun Watson, many thought the Browns season was over.
But after a big win for Flacco and company, they find themselves in AFC playoff contention.
How things will play out over time is anyone’s guess, but the Browns could have a chance to have a former Super Bowl MVP lead the way.
