CLEVELAND -- A month ago, Joe Flacco wondered if he'd get a chance to play in the NFL again. Now, the 38-year-old is Cleveland's starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

On Sunday, Flacco led the Browns to a 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Afterward, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski committed to Flacco as his starter.

"Joe's been in big games," Stefanski said. "So feel comfortable with him leading the football team."

In his second straight start with the Browns, Flacco completed 26 of 45 passes for 311 yards.
