"By the numbers, he is having the worst season of his career so far, on a Cleveland Browns team that is going nowhere in particular. He went 21-for-36 for 142 yards and a pick on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers; that's less than 4 yards per attempt. But in crunch time, Flacco picked up his easel and his brush and went to work-directing the 29th game-winning drive of his 18-year career, which capped off an improbable 13-10 win over Green Bay."
"He threw passes of 1, 13, negative-4, and 3 yards on a drive that cut the deficit to a touchdown. Then, after Grant Delpit picked off Jordan Love and returned it to the Green Bay 4, Flacco threw an incomplete pass that drew a pass interference penalty. After a Quinshon Judkins touchdown rush and Andre Szmyt extra point, the game was tied."
Joe Flacco is a 40-year-old quarterback living in a top-five Philadelphia suburb in New Jersey with five children and an honorary doctorate. He earned a Super Bowl MVP in 2012 and the Comeback Player of the Year Award in 2023. By most measures he is having the worst season of his career on a stagnant Cleveland Browns team, completing 21-of-36 for 142 yards and an interception, under 4 yards per attempt. Facing a 10-0 deficit with under five minutes left against the Packers, Flacco orchestrated a 29th career game-winning drive to secure an improbable 13-10 victory.
