Flacco has been everything the Browns have asked him to be, and as they prepare to take on a New York team that never called him for his services this season, he’s on the brink of adding another playoff run to his résumé.
As for the Jets, they are currently playing out the string on a season that had such promise mere months ago. Injuries and frustrations have derailed what was supposed to be their best season in decades and has now since turned the page to hoping 2024 can be a do-over of sorts.
