The Baltimore Ravens have secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed and have a bye for the first round of the playoffs. However, former Ravens quarterback, and now current Cleveland Browns QB, Joe Flacco has led the Browns to their own playoff spot and a potential collision course with Baltimore.
The Athletics’ Zac Jackson wrote about how the Flacco comeback story could get even better, and that would be if he faces the Ravens in the playoffs.
Jackson writes, “It has to happen. Divisional round, M&T Bank Stadium. The top-seeded 13-3 Ravens, probably the only team hotter than the Browns, hosting Cleveland and Joseph Vincent Flacco. It just has to.”
The Browns are currently locked into the No. 5 seed and will be awaiting the winner of the AFC South division to face in the Wild-Card Round, according to Jackson.
“None of us know how the fascinating and wildly improbable story of Flacco elevating the Browns and pushing them to the playoffs is going to end, but he’s been good enough to make all of us believe it won’t necessarily end right away once the postseason begins,” Jackson writes.
If the Browns come out victorious in their first playoff game, and assuming the No.2 and No.3 seeds handle their business, then the Ravens and Browns would face each other for the third time this season.
“We all want the Flacco Bowl,” Jackson says.
