In 2023, Joe Flacco led the Cleveland Browns to their first postseason trip since 2020, making it a season to remember.
Even though the Browns lost the season in the end, Flacco left them with lifelong memories.
After just a few weeks with the team, Flacco assumed the position of starting quarterback halfway through the season.
His pass catchers and the playbook rapidly became second nature to him, and he guided the squad to an 11-6 record.
In addition to winning Comeback Player of the Year, Flacco’s performance undoubtedly contributed to Kevin Stefanski’s victory in his second Coach of the Year contest.
For Browns supporters, it really was an insane journey.
Following Deshaun Watson’s shoulder injury that ended the season, they had assumed the season was finished. However, once they secured a postseason place, they began to believe that everything was possible.
Even though Flacco will be missed, his departure isn’t entirely expected.
Fans expected the Browns to attempt to re-sign Flacco to continue as Watson’s backup because of his strong play and camaraderie with teammates.
But the Browns decided against it for reasons that are unclear, and Flacco has since signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts.
Though he only played with the Browns for a few months, Flacco left a lasting impression on coaches, players, and fans alike.
