History

Historical Context

In 2008, the Baltimore Ravens promoted rookie quarterback Joe Flacco to the starting role, leading the team to an 11-5 record and a Super Bowl appearance. Flacco threw for 3,113 yards, 22 touchdowns, and a 92.5 passer rating, while the Cleveland Browns finished 4-12 under head coach Romeo Crennel. Today's decision to start Lamar Jackson mirrors that 2008 shift, as both quarterbacks post high yards-per-attempt figures against divisional rivals like the Browns. The parallel prompts teams such as the Ravens and Browns to tighten practice schedules, adjust rosters, and chase playoff positioning in the AFC North.
