Flacco’s Performance: Joe Flacco ran the offense effectively, showing poise despite his age.
Rookie Impact: Harold Fannin Jr. and Dylan Sampson contributed significantly in short-passing schemes.
Greg Newsome’s Contract Year: Newsome had a strong showing against a top-tier receiving corps.

Quinshon Judkins Signed: His aggressive running style is expected to elevate the Browns’ ground game.
Flacco’s Interceptions: Both were considered “safe” throws, not poor decisions.

Brian Rocchio’s Growth: Improved batting average and elite defense at second base.
