Aaron Rodgers is back on the roster list after his weeks of absence due to Achilles injury. But he isn’t alone in the list. A-Rod is joined by WR Allen Lazard due to illness. QB Zach Wilson, who suffered a concussion in the team’s loss to the Miami Dolphins, has not played yet, and this time again he is on the list. Besides them, OL Austin Deculus, TE Jeremy Ruckert, DL Carl Lawson, and CB Bryce Hall, are all inactives for the game. In place of Wilson, the Jets will start Trevor Siemian against the Browns.

Jets vs Browns – Starting Line Up, Predictions, Injuries and More

This matchup is important for the Browns as they are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot defeating the Jets. And the key player to watch in this game will be Flacco.

Joe Flacco is the team’s star player?

Joe Flacco’s comeback is gaining momentum. In the recent game, he set a franchise receiving record with 265 yards to Amari Cooper in a 36-22 victory over Houston. Now, he has a chance for another achievement in a game against his former team. His win will help reach the Browns in the AFC playoff berth.

The 38-year-old QB’s arrival has unexpectedly improved the Browns’ offense. In just 4 games, he has become the team’s passing leader with 1307 yards, even surpassing Deshaun Watson. Flacco has thrown for 1000 plus yards in three back-to-back wins, a feat he achieved only once before in his 2012 Super Bowl campaign with the Ravens.

Cleveland fans are keeping their hope with Flacco, and are eagerly awaiting for another playoff spot after 2020.
