The Cleveland Browns making the playoffs isn't a surprise, at least compared to preseason expectations. The team was expected to have a really strong defense and just needed quarterback Deshaun Watson to bounce back from a poor end to 2022.
The defense part happened, but a Watson injury put the Browns in limbo at quarterback. After bouncing between P.J. Walker and Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the team signed veteran Joe Flacco, who has played well for the team.
Flacco, a longtime member of the Baltimore Ravens, has had some playoff success in his NFL career. What has that success looked like in the past?
