Joe Flacco and the Cleveland Browns dominated the New York Jets in the first half on Thursday night as the veteran quarterback got revenge on his former team.
The Browns scored 34 points in the first half and Flacco gained nearly 300 yards by halftime.
Early in the second half, the 38-year-old fell asleep on the bench while Cleveland’s defense was on the field.
Flacco appeared to be asleep, sitting with his arms crossed and rubbing his face to try to open his eyes.
Flacco passed for 300 yards and four touchdowns for the fourth straight game Thursday, but you’d hardly know it from his composure on the sidelines.
A little over a month ago, Flacco wasn’t even in the league.
He joined Cleveland’s practice squad in late November and plans to continue his starting gig as the Browns prepare for a playoff run.
NFL fans watching the game didn’t notice Flacco’s sleepy expression on the sideline and made plenty of jokes about the veteran quarterback.
