00:00 I've covered Joe since 2007, and it's finally here

00:03 at University of Delaware.

00:04 And it's just really remarkable.

00:06 What I love is he's 38 years old.

00:08 He's out of football.

00:10 I'm told no team before the Browns

00:12 showed really any interest in him.

00:14 As I told you months ago, the Jets

00:16 weren't interested after Aaron Rodgers got hurt.

00:19 For whatever reason, there was not that interest.

00:21 Though after, of course, his first game,

00:23 there were teams interested, I'm told.

00:24 But the bottom line is, this is what I love.

00:27 He's so unflappable.

00:28 They're down 17 to 7 heading into the fourth quarter.

00:30 He's not playing well.

00:32 It's raining.

00:32 It looks bad.

00:34 People are going to say, see, here's how Flacco implodes.

00:36 He didn't implode.

00:38 He hung in there.

00:38 He did throw the three picks.

00:40 But he got hot in the fourth quarter

00:41 and brought the team back.

00:42 The defense hung in there in not great conditions.

00:45 And if they make the playoffs, Pharrell,

00:48 it's going to be a big reason because of this guy.

00:50 Just think about where they'd be.

00:51 Thompson Robinson got hurt.

00:53 He had a concussion.

00:54 They skipped over PJ Walker, who they wound up cutting.

00:58 He's now on their practice squad.

01:00 And they signed Flacco because it was their last chance,

01:02 last gasp here.

01:03 They put him in there.

01:04 He's been terrific.

01:05 He's saving the football team.

01:06 And by the way, Kevin Stefanski deserves a lot of credit.

01:10 They have so many injuries, Pharrell.

01:11 We'll get into this later in the week.

01:13 Because they're-- by the way, they play at the Texans.

01:15 That's going to be a great game Sunday,

01:16 one of the prime games of the week.

01:18 And they've got, on both sides of the football,

01:19 they've got like eight guys who are hurt.

01:21 But when you have a guy like Flacco

01:24 who could throw the football and it's fearless,

01:27 that's what makes him such a tough quarterback.

01:29 Let's not forget, Super Bowl MVP in 2012.
