Joe Flacco’s First Game Back in Baltimore Comes During Ravens’ 30th-Anniversary Weekend

The Browns quarterback calls the setting a big deal that heightens his return.

Overview

  • Flacco will start for Cleveland on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in his first appearance in Baltimore since the Ravens chose Lamar Jackson after the 2018 season.
  • He called the visit “a big deal” and said the festivities make it “more exciting,” while noting he plans to keep his emotions in check.
  • Baltimore’s 30th-season celebration will bring back Hall of Famers Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis and Ozzie Newsome.
  • Team officials planned the anniversary event before the schedule, yet the overlap resonates given Baltimore’s origins in a move from Cleveland.
  • Browns players say they feel disrespected as double-digit underdogs and view the trip as a chance to earn respect.
