Joe Flacco and the Cleveland Browns dominated the New York Jets during the first half on Thursday night, as the veteran quarterback exacted revenge on his former team.
The Browns put up 34 points in the first half, as Flacco racked up nearly 300 yards before halftime.
Early into the second half, the 38-year-old looked a bit drowsy when he was sitting on the bench while Cleveland’s defense was out on the field. Flacco was sitting with his arms crossed and looked as if he was about to doze off before he rubbed his face in order to keep his eyes open.
Flacco topped 300 passing yards and four touchdowns for the fourth consecutive game on Thursday, but you’d barely know that based on his composure on the sideline.
Just over a month ago, Flacco wasn’t even in the league. He was signed to Cleveland’s practice squad in late November, and has since earned the starting gig, which he figures to keep as the Browns prepare to make a splash in the playoffs.
NFL fans watching the game didn’t fail to notice Flacco’s sleepy expression on the sideline, and they had plenty of jokes about the veteran quarterback.
