Has Joe Flacco resurrected his career in Cleveland? NFL Week 15 fact or fiction
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns came back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Bears on Sunday, 20-17. But there was more going on around the NFL than the matchup in Cleveland.
Every week, we’ll go through the biggest storylines and examine potential narratives from around the NFL.
To help us examine these storylines and narratives, we’re following in the footsteps of the 1990s show, “Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction,” which you may know better from the memes of host Jonathan Frakes.
Just like Frakes, we will decide every week whether several of the top storylines from around the league are fact or fiction. Here are this week’s six biggest storylines.
1. The Browns have resurrected Joe Flacco’s career
Verdict: Fact.
But in the fourth quarter, Flacco came alive, leading the Browns on three scoring drives. His 51-yard TD pass in a tight window to Amari Cooper tied the game at 17, and then he led a drive to set up Dustin Hopkins for the eventual game-winning field goal from 33 yards out.
