Joe Flacco Jokes About Being Old Enough to Be Dad of Browns Teammates

Joe Flacco turns 39 in two weeks, and he's very much aware every time he sets foot in the Cleveland Browns locker room.

Flacco joked with reporters Wednesday that he could be the father of some younger players on the roster if he wasn't careful with his extracurriculars in high school.

There are 18 players on the Browns' roster age 25 or younger, which means they were born around the time Flacco was entering or attending high school.

Luckily, Flacco waited quite a bit longer to become a father, with his first of five children being born in 2012.

Instead, this young Browns team is helping Flacco with his own battle against a different father: time. Flacco has been a revelation since signing with Cleveland midway through the 2023 season, throwing for 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns against eight interceptions across five appearances.

It's the best stretch of football Flacco has played in at least a half-decade and has coincided with the Browns reeling off four straight wins to clinch an AFC playoff spot. While the Super Bowl XLVII MVP has been prone to turnovers, the Browns have moved the ball better with him than any of their four starting options this season.
