Joe Flacco was officially named the Browns' starting quarterback for the start of the 2025 season on Monday after a long quarterback competition this offseason in Cleveland.
While Flacco's first game as QB1 will be against AFC North rival the Bengals in Week 1, he will likely have Cleveland's Week 2 game circled for divisional reasons and personal reasons. Flacco will face his former team, the Ravens, with whom he won a Super Bowl title during the 2012 season. This will be a big matchup for him, and his former coach John Harbaugh.
