It’s fitting that the Baltimore Ravens are trading quarterback Joe Flacco to Denver, the site of his most famous pass -- the "Mile High Miracle."
Flacco’s playoff success ultimately defines his legacy with the Ravens.
After arriving from Delaware -- the minor leagues of football, Flacco would say -- in 2008, he brought stability and a Lombardi Trophy to a franchise that had changed quarterbacks almost as often as the Cleveland Browns. With toughness, resiliency and a shrug-of-the-shoulder demeanor, Flacco turned a team known primarily for defense into a perennial playoff contender.
