BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco has no hard feelings against the New York Jets, who didn't re-sign him after last season and also didn't bring him back after Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in this year's opener.
Flacco and the Browns host the Jets on Thursday night with a chance to clinch the team's first postseason appearance since 2020. «I enjoyed my time while I was there, and it is what it is,» Flacco said. «I'm happy to be where I am, that's for sure.» Flacco has started the last four games for the Browns, winning three.
Cleveland (10-5) is now all alone at the 5 seed in the playoff picture with a better than 99% chance to make the postseason, according to ESPN's Football Power Index.
Over the last four weeks, Flacco has thrown for more yards (1,307) than any other NFL quarterback. He's also tossed 10 touchdown passes, tied with Matthew Stafford and Brock Purdy for the most during that span.
