Browns Count on Flacco's Experience, Strong Defense in AFC Wild-Card Game Against Texans

Cleveland Browns, led by veteran quarterback Joe Flacco and a top-ranked defense, prepare to face the Houston Texans in a crucial AFC wild-card game.

Joe Flacco, the Browns' quarterback, has won seven road playoff games, tying him with Tom Brady for the most in league history, giving the Browns an extra boost of confidence as they prepare for Saturday's AFC wild-card game in Houston against the Texans.
Flacco has been on an extended personal road trip for nearly two months, going 4-1 as a starter, throwing for 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns since being signed by the Browns in November after they lost Deshaun Watson for the remainder of the season.
The Browns are making just their third postseason appearance since 1999, and there are only a few players on their roster with extensive playoff experience, led by Flacco, the Super Bowl 47 MVP with Baltimore.
The Browns' defense, led by Myles Garrett, finished the season first in multiple statistical categories, including total yards allowed.
The Browns will face the Texans, led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who helped Houston go from holding the second pick in the draft to winning the AFC South.
