Joe Flacco’s Experience a Boon for Browns as Postseason Continues
As the Cleveland Browns gear up for the postseason, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco’s experience is proving to be a valuable asset for the team. Flacco, who joined the Browns earlier this season, brings a wealth of playoff experience, including a Super Bowl win with the Baltimore Ravens in 2012.
During a press conference at the team’s facility, Flacco discussed the emotional intensity of playoff games and how his years in the league have shaped his approach to the postseason. “This is the 16th year I’ve been in this league,” Flacco said. “You can tell guys look at you a little bit differently just because of that. I always say, ‘If I messed up in high school, I could be these kids dads.’ There is something that—they probably do look at me a little bit differently just because of that.”
Flacco’s presence has not gone unnoticed by his teammates, many of whom were not yet in the NFL when Flacco won the Super Bowl. “To get a sense of what kind of impact, who knows? I’m just being myself and trying to help them win games,” Flacco said. “I think that when you’re yourself, that’s the best chance you have to impact people. So hopefully I’ve had something.”
Flacco’s leadership and experience have been a boon for the Browns as they continue their improbable run in the postseason. With Flacco at the helm, the Browns will be looking to capitalize on his playoff expertise as they aim to keep their postseason journey alive.
