"Arr! Joe Flacco, aye, should plunder the coveted NFL Comeback Player o' the Year, as proclaimed by fair maiden Michele Tafoya!"

Arrr, mateys! Damar Hamlin be a clear favorite to seize the NFL Comeback Player o' the Year, but Joe Flacco be a sly dog, scrawlin' his name into the talk like a pirate's treasure map!
The Cleveland Browns have made it to the playoffs thanks to the unexpected contributions of Joe Flacco, who only joined the team in late November. Flacco has been on a hot streak, winning four consecutive games and throwing for over 300 yards in each of them. The Browns secured their playoff spot with a 37-20 victory over the New York Jets. Flacco has quickly become a fan favorite in Cleveland. He is the fourth starting quarterback for the team this year, as Deshaun Watson was ruled out with a season-ending shoulder injury. Flacco's last playoff appearance was in 2014, and his performance has put him in the running for Comeback of the Year. While Damar Hamlin remains the odds-on favorite due to his return from a cardiac arrest, Flacco's odds have soared because of his impact on the team. Former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya praised both players, but highlighted Flacco's ability to breathe new life into the Browns. Tafoya emphasized the chemistry in football and how one player can make a difference in turning a season around. Flacco has thrown for 13 touchdowns and 1,616 yards in his five games with the Browns, proving himself as a valuable addition to the team. He previously won Super Bowl XLVII with the Baltimore Ravens, his current AFC North rival, where he spent 11 seasons.
