Now two weeks into the Joe Flacco experience, the Cleveland Browns have found success through the air in back-to-back weeks for the first time all season. With four games to go, the Browns are hoping Flacco and their elevated passing attack can lead them to the postseason for the first time since 2020.
Sitting at 8-5, all of Northeast Ohio is holding their breath that Flacco and the Browns can continue the magic down the stretch and finish their season strong. Currently holding the fifth seed in the AFC and an 81 percent chance to wiggle their way into the playoffs despite significant injuries to a massive 15 different players, Flacco just needs to take care of the football and find open receivers the rest of the way out.
