Joe Flacco, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, has a lot riding on the match against the Houston Texans. The 38-year-old has been the driving force behind the Browns’ success and is set to make history against the Texans. If the Browns end up defeating Houston today, Flacco might just break Brady’s wildcard win record.
The Browns currently have an 11-6 record and the second-highest rank in the AFC North division. Joe Flacco has been suffering from a calf injury the past couple of days, and the fans will be glad to see him make a return to the field today. The fans are direly waiting for his comeback and are hoping he can take it away from the Texans today. And if he achieves this feat, he will be showered with a lot of honors, more so than Tom Brady himself.
