In a competitive battle for the starting quarterback position, the Cleveland Browns have officially named veteran Joe Flacco as their QB1 for the Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Flacco, a seasoned 40-year-old quarterback, edged out contenders Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in the final selection. Coach Kevin Stefanski had previously indicated that a decision would be made prior to the preseason finale, and now, with Flacco at the helm, questions arise about the future of the other quarterbacks in the lineup. The move signifies a bold choice as the Browns look to make a strong start to the new season.
