General News (Sun Jan 27): is expected to part ways with the Ravens this offseason, and ideally, the Ravens would like to find a trade partner to acquire the veteran quarterback. To that end, head coach John Harbaugh said Flacco's "value is high" in a news conference Friday, Jan. 26, and added he can be "one of the best" in the league if he's protected well and playing with suitable weapons on offense.

General News (Mon Jan 21): could receive interest from the Denver Broncos this offseason, in the opinion of 9News.com's Mike Klis.

Recent Game Summaries

2018 Week 9 vs PIT (23 / 37 / 206 / 0 / 0 pass, 0 / 0 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco absorbed a couple of hard hits early in the game and was seen getting his hip stretched on the sideline. Flacco and the Ravens offense looked out of sync and uncomfortable for the remainder of the game. Flacco threw numerous passes into the dirt well short of their intended target. Flacco's best throw of the game was a 30 yard completion to Chris Moore who had to make a spectacular leaping catch on the play. The drive stalled with Flacco staring down a double covered John Brown instead of finding Lamar Jackson wide open in the flat for an easy touchdown. Flacco moved the Ravens into the red zone with a long pass interference penalty on an underthrown pass. Flacco then missed Crabtree who was open for a 12 yard touchdown forcing another field goal. The only success the Ravens found in the second half were pass interference penalties and few long completions over the middle. The Ravens offense was otherwise abysmal and hard to watch. The combination of missing starting lineman, Flacco's apparent injury and level of play, and questionable play calling resulted in little offensive success. Flacco's inability to make plays outside of structure and deal with pressure was evident.

2018 Week 8 vs CAR (22 / 39 / 192 / 1 / 2 pass, 2 / 14 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco had almost no success throwing the ball downfield against the Panthers. Flacco seemed frustrated by the defense he was facing and how he was unable to get anything going. The Ravens did find success on their opening possession scoring a touchdown but the drive was largely fueled by the rung game and was aided by a personal foul penalty on the Panthers. The Ravens offense was abysmal for the remainder of the half. Two unblocked defenders resulted in an Alex Collins fumble and a sack that killed another possession. Lamar Jackson also missed Willie Snead wide open downfield. Running the two minute offense Joe Flacco scrambled to extend a play on 3rd and long and instead of stepping out of bounds or throwing the ball away he randomly threw the ball downfield for an easy interception. Flacco threw a pass in the direction of Willie Snead as he was under duress and it was easily intercepted by Captain Munnerlyn. Flacco connected twice with Snead for 38 yards setting up a 9 yard touchdown throw to Buck Allen. After Ronnie Stanley exited the game with injury Flacco had little time to throw and began to anticipate the rush. Flacco authored a few more empty possessions then gave way to Lamar Jackson.

2018 Week 7 vs NO (23 / 39 / 279 / 2 / 0 pass, 1 / 4 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense played well for the most part. The Ravens struggles in the run game killed multiple drives and a few key drops hurt the Ravens late in the game. Flacco played well outside of two throws downfield that could have been intercepted. The Ravens were moving the ball on their first possession until two stuffed run plays put them into 3rd and long forcing a punt. Flacco connected with John Brown twice on the Ravens second possession including a 13 yard completion on 4th and 8 to set up a Justin Tucker field goal. The Ravens decision to go for it on 4th down matched the aggressiveness of Sean Payton. Flacco hit Brown in stride for a 56 yard catch and run over the middle to set up a 1 yard Lamar Jackson touchdown. The Ravens first possession of the second half stalled with two failed run plays following a 2nd and 1. Flacco connected with Crabtree for a gain of 18 on 3rd and 4 then found Chris Moore for 14 yards to move the Raven into the red zone. Flacco capped the drive with an 8 yard touchdown to Mark Andrews. Flacco put together another touchdown with completions to Brown, Crabtree and Snead with the game on the line. Flacco hit Brown for a 14 yard touchdown to tie the game but Justin Tucker missed the extra point to send the game to overtime.

2018 Week 6 vs TEN (25 / 37 / 238 / 1 / 1 pass, 3 / 4 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco played well outside of a single bad decision that led to an interception. Flacco made several nice throws downfield and was excellent on third down. Flacco was not sacked in large part due to him making the correct reads against the blitz and getting rid of the ball quickly. Flacco led the Ravens down the field for a touchdown on their opening possession. Flacco connected with Michael Crabtree twice who came wide open on both occasions for gains of 21 and 27. Flacco then showed off his accuracy with a well placed back shoulder throw to Crabtree for a 4 yard touchdown. Flacco and the Ravens scored another touchdown on their second possession. Flacco moved the Ravens down the field with 3rd down conversions to Willie Snead and John Brown to set up an Alex Collins touchdown. Flacco made another sideline throw to Crabtree for a 20 yard gain. A few plays later Flacco made an ill advised throw to Willie Snead that was tipped and intercepted. Snead was well covered on the play and Flacco's pass was too high. Flacco responded with another touchdown drive to open the second half. Flacco connected with Snead for gains of 24 and 13. Lamar Jackson contributed a 22 yard run down the sideline and Collins capped the drive with another touchdown.

2018 Week 5 vs CLE (29 / 56 / 298 / 0 / 1 pass, 2 / 13 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco and the Ravens had a very inconsistent performance against the Browns. The Ravens had two costly turnovers, struggled to make contested catches, and were too predictable with their offensive game plan. The Browns' defense paid special attention to John Brown with a safety over the top of him for the majority of the game. Michael Crabtree had a game to forget with two drops and a missed opportunity for a game winning touchdown in the end zone. The heavy usage of Buck Allen is worrisome and detrimental to the offense. Allen offers almost nothing in terms of dynamic play making ability. After finally establishing some sort of offensive rhythm and moving the ball into the red zone, Flacco threw an ugly interception. Flacco tried to throw the ball away in the direction of Nick Boyle but the pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage and intercepted by Denzel Ward. Flacco moved the Ravens into scoring position running the two minute offense before halftime. However, Tucker's field goal attempt was blocked leaving the Ravens with 3 first half points. Flacco made two throws late in the game that could have helped the Ravens pull out the victory. The first hit Crabtree in the hands in the end zone for a go ahead score and the second was a back shoulder throw to Brown where Brown could only get one foot in bounds. The completion would have set up a long field goal attempt for Justin Tucker.

2018 Week 4 vs PIT (28 / 42 / 363 / 2 / 0 pass, 2 / -3 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco took the Ravens down the field for a touchdown on their opening possession. Flacco converted a third down over the middle to Crabtree before throwing a dime to John Brown for a 33 yard touchdown. After taking over in great field position following a turnover Flacco connected with Chris Moore to get the Ravens into the red zone. Flacco found Alex Collins in the flat for a 3 yard touchdown to cap the drive. One of the few times Flacco faced pressure in the game he missed Michael Crabtree who was wide open downfield on a potential 56 yard touchdown. Flacco threw a perfect bomb off of play action to hit John Brown 50 yard downfield in stride for a 71 yard gain. The drive ended with an Collins fumble on the 1 yard line. Flacco set up a second half field goal attempt with completions over the middle to Crabtree and Tim White. A key 3rd down conversion to Willie Snead set up another field goal attempt on a drive that was otherwise mostly run plays. With a 6 point lead and starting deep in their own territory Flacco and the Ravens orchestrated another scoring drive that ate up almost 7 minutes of game clock.

2018 Week 3 vs DEN (25 / 40 / 277 / 1 / 0 pass, 4 / 2 / 0 rush)

Flacco absorbed a big hit and sack from Bradley Chubb on the Ravens opening possession but otherwise did a good job of getting rid of the ball and avoiding sacks. One of the many impressive throws made on the day was a 15 yard completion to Willie Snead over the middle between two defenders. Flacco hit Mark Andrews over the middle who came wide open off of play action for 30 yards to set up an Alex Collins touchdown. Flacco converted a 3rd and 9 with a 19 yard back shoulder throw to MIchael Crabtree. Flacco capped the drive hitting Buck Allen in the flat who took it for a 12 yard score. Flacco dropped a perfect bomb to John Brown for 44 yards. Flacco held the ball a little too long and was sacked by Shane Ray forcing a fumble the Ravens recovered. Flacco threw an absolute laser down the seam to Mark Andrews for a 29 yard gain setting up another Allen touchdown. Flacco ran a bootleg keeper on 3rd and 1 to seal the game. Flacco beat two defenders to the edge with his speed.

2018 Week 2 vs CIN (32 / 55 / 376 / 2 / 2 pass, 3 / 8 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco played terrible in prime time against the Bengals. Flacco made inaccurate throws all game long and could have had as many as 5 turnovers. Flacco faced frequent pressure and looked uncomfortable throughout the game. Flacco tired to force the ball downfield after the Ravens went three and out on their first possession. Flacco overthrew Michael Crabtree over the middle and the pass was easily intercepted. During the Ravens second possession Flacco was sacked and the drive stalled with a another off target throw towards Crabtree. After managing only 17 yards on their first four possessions Flacco finally put together a scoring drive. Flacco threw a 45 yard bomb to John Brown that could have been intercepted but Brown made a great catch and gave the Ravens their first big play. The drive was capped with a 1 yard Buck Allen run for a touchdown. Joe Flacco opened the second half with a 25 yard completion to Maxx Williams down the seam. The pass set up a Justin Tucker field goal. Flacco had his arm hit by Carlos Dunlap as he threw deep downfield to John Brown and the jump ball was easily intercepted. Trailing by 8 points and running the two minute offense Flacco absorbed an ugly sack along the sideline and fumbled the ball back to the Bengals.

2018 Week 1 vs BUF (25 / 34 / 236 / 3 / 0 pass, 2 / 3 / 0 rush)

Joe Flacco played an excellent game and was even better than his stat line suggests. Flacco made accurate throws all over the field, showed mobility to escape pressure, and protected the football. Flacco opened the game with a 25 yard completion to Nick Boyle off of play action. Flacco did a nice job extending the play. Flacco then hit John Brown for 29 yards to convert a 2nd and 26. The drive was capped with a 8 yard run by Alex Collins for a touchdown. Flacco moved the Ravens down the field methodically on their third possession with completions to Mark Andrews and Buck Allen. Flacco then found John Brown in the back of the end zone for a 7 yard touchdown. The Ravens offense slowed down slightly with three failed possessions but still managed two field goals thanks to excellent field position. Flacco got the offense back on track with two nice 20 yard completions to Michael Crabtree and Willie Snead. Flacco capped the drive with a perfect throw on a fade route to Crabtree for a 12 yard touchdown. Following a turnover Flacco hit Snead in stride for a 13 yard score. Another touchdown following an interception allowed Flacco to take a seat and Lamar Jackson entered the game 5 minutes into the second half.

Latest News

Ravens | Baltimore to receive fourth-round pick from Denver (Wed Feb 13, 03:14 PM) - Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos QB Joe Flacco was traded by the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for the 11th pick in the fourth round (106 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Our View: The Ravens are moving forward with Lamar Jackson as their starting quarterback, and that was incredibly evident after Flacco was hurt and they changed the structure of the offense to accommodate Jackson.

Broncos | Denver trading fourth-round pick (Wed Feb 13, 03:12 PM) - Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos QB Joe Flacco will be acquired from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for the 11th pick in the fourth round (106 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Our View: The Broncos needed an upgrade at the quarterback position and this is a great price to make the move. They picked up an extra fourth-round pick last year when they moved WR Demaryius Thomas to the Texans.

Broncos | Case Keenum could be traded (Wed Feb 13, 02:58 PM) - Denver Broncos QB Case Keenum is on the trading block in light of QB Joe Flacco being acquired.

Our View: Good luck with that. We can't imagine the market being white hot for the veteran quarterback (although keep an eye out for Arizona). If a trade cannot be executed, Keenum will either take a big pay cut or just be released.

Ravens | Joe Flacco headed to Denver (Wed Feb 13, 11:20 AM) - Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco is part of a trade agreed upon with the Denver Broncos Wednesday, Feb. 13. The package going to Baltimore is unknown, and the deal can't become official until March 13.

Our View: The Ravens didn't want to just release Flacco and get nothing for him. They wanted to facilitate a trade and the Broncos were willing partners. Flacco was beat up last year and only made it through nine games with a hip injury. He was healthy enough to return for the playoffs, but the team decided to stick with their QB of the future Lamar Jackson.

Broncos | Joe Flacco headed to Broncos (Wed Feb 13, 11:05 AM) - Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco is part of an agreement in principle to be traded to the Denver Broncos Wednesday, Feb. 13. The trade can't become official until March 13.

Our View: Case Keenum was not an effective starter for the Broncos in 2018. They make the move to rectify that situation. Flacco may not be much of an upgrade over Keenum but the team wanted to go in a different direction. New offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello comes from the Shanahan coaching tree, and Flacco worked well in that system (posting career-best numbers) back in 2014.
