NFL fans weren’t surprised that Joe Flacco turned back into a pumpkin at the worst time for the Browns

Joe Flacco Browns (Organization) NFL NBC NFLPlus the Cleveland Browns

At the age of 38, Joe Flacco unthinkably saved the Cleveland Browns’ season. He took them to their second playoff berth in four years, and it felt like they were destined for a deep run. Anyone who thought that must have not been familiar with Joe Flacco.

Even while throwing for over 300 yards, Flacco effectively fell back to Earth by throwing not one but two pick-sixes against the Houston Texans on Saturday. This was the quarterback that probably should have reared his ugly head much earlier for the Browns.

It’s just unfortunate (but not unsurprising) that it happened in the playoffs in a 45-14 defeat:

This is classic Browns, honestly. Enjoy your best season in years, win 11 games, and then bow out the moment the playoffs begin because your over-the-hill quarterback finally plays like his age. What a shame for Cleveland, but the city probably should’ve seen this coming.

Twitter was so unsurprised by Joe Flacco's poor playoff performance
