Joe Flacco laughs off claims he FELL ASLEEP while leading the Browns to playoff-clinching win over the Jets: ‘I guess our offense was boring me!’

Browns quarterback Joe Flacco laughed off the claims that he appeared to be falling asleep during Cleveland’s 37-20 win over the New York Jets.

Amid the celebrations on a famous win, Flacco was asked about the clip from the Amazon post-game crew and he laughed before he said: ‘I guess our offense was boring me a little bit. We weren’t doing a good enough job so.’

Cleveland’s offense was anything but boring as Flacco got his revenge on the Jets for declining to offer him even a workout, let alone a contract after Aaron Rodgers was lost for the season after tearing his Achillies only four plays into the season.

Flacco torched New York for 296 yards in the first half and became the first QB in 34 games to go over 300 yards against the Jets. He’s also the first Cleveland quarterback to pass for more than 300 in four straight.

Speaking to Mike Garafolo after the game, Flacco was asked if he dozed off – and also if he could ever have expected being in this position at the end of 2023.

Flacco ended the game with 309 passing yards, three touchdowns, and an interception

I don’t know about that, I can’t beleive that,’ Flacco said about drifting off. ‘Was it in the second half? We can’t have been doing much.

Garafolo also asked the 38-year-old if he could have anticipated being in the playoffs with the Browns this season.

‘Not really. I don’t think so,’ Flacco said. ‘Especially not in this city. This city has been unbelievable. I can’t say enough about it. You felt it in here tonight. 

‘Awesome atmosphere, really exciting to get the job done and get that spot in the playoffs.’

As the Cleveland Browns stadium erupted in chants of ‘Flacco’ at the end of the game, his extraordinary personal comeback was perhaps best summarized by his former Jets and Baltimore Ravens teammate, C.J. Mosely. 

‘Who would have thought the f***ing Browns would be screaming your name?’ Mosely said. ‘That sh*t crazy.’ 

The 38-year-old Flacco finished the game with 309 passing yards, three touchdowns and an interception.
