As the Browns have continued their slow start to the season, fans have continually pointed to a “lighter second half of schedule” as the key to the team turning things around. The Browns back nine begins against a similarly struggling Denver Broncos team that will now be without it’s starting quarterback in Joe Flacco.
Broncos head coach Vic Fangio announced on Monday that Flacco has been ruled out for next Sunday’s game against Cleveland with a neck injury.
Flacco left Sunday’s 15-13 loss to the Colts with ailment, which is clearly more severe than it may have initially seemed when an animated Flacco spoke postgame.
