LOSER: Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens quarterback has been incredibly streaky this year as he will have a great outing then follow it up with a stinker of a game.

Last week he threw for three touchdowns and 327 yards, and this week he threw for just 235 yards and an interception. The ground attack did a good job of bringing the Ravens back into the game but Flacco couldn’t put together that last drive to get his team a win.

It’s not all Flacco of course, but his up and down play has made things harder on the Ravens.

At least given his alternating output, he should be due for a good game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week.
