Joe Flacco wasn’t done with football.
A neck injury cut his 12th NFL season short. He could have gone home to South Jersey with his Super Bowl ring and MVP trophy and called it a career. But the 35-year-old Flacco believed he could still play and play at a high level.
Here’s his chance.
With Sam Darnold sidelined with a sprained right shoulder, Flacco will be running the offense when the Jets play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
