Few players in Baltimore Ravens history are as beloved as Joe Flacco. The former first-round draft choice helped deliver some of the most memorable postseason performances in the franchise's history. His story begins with his arrival as the 18th overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft.
Now, more than a decade after delivering the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy, Flacco is once again stepping into the spotlight. Netflix recently released the trailer for Season 3 of Quarterback, and the former Ravens legend is among the featured stars. The trailer was released recently.
Flacco's legacy in Baltimore was cemented long before he won Super Bowl XLVII MVP honors. What separated him from many of his contemporaries was his ability to elevate his game when the stakes were highest.
During Baltimore's championship run following the 2012 season, Flacco authored one of the greatest playoff performances the league has ever witnessed. Over four postseason games, he threw 11 touchdown passes without a single interception.
The run included victories over Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady before culminating in a Super Bowl triumph over the San Francisco 49ers. To this day, many Ravens fans consider it the greatest stretch of football ever played by a Baltimore quarterback, but alas, Flacco is still crafting his NFL story. Flacco's career didn't end when he left Baltimore. The veteran has spent time in six other NFL cities. Remarkably, he earned the first Pro Bowl selection of his career in 2025 despite being well into his NFL journey.
He's now with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he is expected to serve as a veteran presence in the quarterback room. His playing days may be winding down, but his story remains fascinating.
That's what should make his appearance on Quarterback must-watch television for Ravens fans. Long before he became a veteran journeyman, Joe Flacco delivered a championship to Baltimore. For many Ravens supporters, that alone is worth making his story one worthy of checking in on from time to time.
