  • According to Jamison Hensley, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has ‘insisted’ that QB Joe Flacco will play in their season opener on September 10th. Harbaugh was quoted as saying: “He will be back for the Bengals game, I promise you that.”
  • Flacco ended 2016 with an overall grade of 75.4, good for 23rd among 34 qualifying quarterbacks. Flacco struggled throwing the deep ball, tying with Carson Palmer for the sixth-most thrown interceptions on deep passes (passing attempts targeted 20 yards or more downfield) with five. His accuracy percentage of 30.3 on deep passes was 31st among 34 qualifying quarterbacks, only beating out Bryce Petty, Brock Osweiler, and Blake Bortles.
  • The veteran has graded below 80.0 in each of the past two seasons, and has only graded above 80.0 in three of his nine seasons in the league. His highest graded year came in 2009, where he ended the season with an overall grade of 84.1.
