The magic of Joe Flacco has faded. Big time.
The Cleveland Browns quarterback committed major gaffes in the third quarter of their playoff game on Saturday with the Houston Texans.
The veteran was under pressure when he threw a pass that wound up in the hands of Houston’s Steven Nelson.
The Texans’ DB was off and running, going 82 yards for the score. After the PAT it was 31-14 for the Texans past the midway point of the third quarter.
The @HoustonTexans first pick-6 of the season came at a pretty good time.

It was the ninth pick thrown by Flacco since he was signed by the Browns and had the team rolling.
The next time the Browns had the football they faced a fourth-and-2 and Flacco connected with Christian Harris.
The problem is he plays for the Texans.
Harris returned it 36 yards for a score and after the PAT the Texans were romping, 38-14.
