While Offensive Coordinators Perish
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude that Joe Flacco is a more efficient quarterback when complemented by a productive running attack. It might even be argued that he needs a plus run game, and through the 2012 season he had exactly that to go with a defense that was regularly among the league’s top 10.
As a result, playoff appearances were quite common – 6 of Joe’s first 7 seasons as a matter of fact, the sole exception being the 2013 season.
