The Cleveland Browns have not committed to Joe Flacco as their starter going forward, despite his solid performance in a 36-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Flacco finished the matchup 23-of-44 for 254 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His lone mistake came at the wrong time in the fourth quarter. He threw up a deep ball looking for Elijah Moore and was picked off by Rams safety John Johnson III.
Johnson returned the interception 42 yards and it was all downhill from there for the Browns. Cleveland was down just 20-19 at the time of the interception but Los Angeles scored 16 unanswered to close out the game
Joe Flacco had a strong showing in the Cleveland Browns’ 36-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, but the team has not committed to him as their starting quarterback moving forward.
Flacco completed the game with two touchdowns and 254 yards on 23 of 44 passes. In the fourth quarter, his lone error happened at the wrong moment. He attempted a deep pass in search of Elijah Moore, but Rams safety John Johnson III intercepted him.
After Johnson recovered the interception 42 yards, the Browns’ season took a turn for the worse. At the time of the interception, Cleveland was only down 20–19, but Los Angeles scored 16 straight points to win the game.
Although Flacco’s interception was poor, it gave the Browns a spark at quarterback that they haven’t had much of this season. Stefanski refused to support Flacco as the starting quarterback moving forward, despite that.
In response to the defeat, Stefanski declared, “I’m not going to get into all that.” “I felt he had a clear perspective and made wise choices. fulfilled our expectations of him.
Although Flacco is unsure of his future in Cleveland, it is obvious that he wants to be involved.
Flacco stated, “I think you want to keep that going for as long as possible anytime you get a little taste of playing football.”
Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a rookie who missed the game because of a concussion, would be the backup. This week, Thompson-Robinson was under concussion protocol; nonetheless, he was not cleared to play. Although his condition is still unknown, he should be cleared for the Jacksonville Jaguars game the following week.
Although Thompson-Robinson adds a little more movement, he lacks Flacco’s offensive mastery and has made rookie errors.
