National audience reacts to Browns QB Joe Flacco finding success vs. Rams right off the couch

The Cleveland Browns were forced to start their fourth different quarterback of the 2023 season as Joe Flacco debuted with the team. A long-time rival of the Browns, winning a Super Bowl with the AFC North foe Baltimore Ravens, Flacco wore the brown and orange against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

And many were stunned by how well he played.

Signed to the practice squad two weeks ago, the 38-year-old Flacco went from the couch for most of the season to starting another NFL game in no time. And while he had a back-breaking interception late in the game, Flacco showed he is good enough to win down the stretch for Cleveland.

He finished with 254 yards and two touchdowns in addition to the one interception. He threw the ball all around the field and even contributed to season-highs in receiving yards for wide receiver Elijah Moore and tight end Harrison Bryant.
