The ‘AP NFL Comeback Players of the Year’ quiz

When Joe Flacco joined the Cleveland Browns in 2023, it was taken as mostly a joke around the NFL. But he exceeded everyone’s expectations by going 4-1 in five starts with 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns and leading the Browns on to the playoffs. 

He played so well that he earned Comeback Player of the Year honors and parlayed his performance into a deal with the Colts after Clevelands’ worries about pressure from Flacco on Deshaun Watson. Another lost season from the Browns and Watson later — Flacco is back in Cleveland on a one-year, $4-million contract that can get up to $13 million with incentives. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Flacco went just 2-6 in eight starts with Indy last year, but in a QB room featuring an injured (and increasingly diminished) Watson and Kenny Pickett, so don’t be shocked to see Flacco under center in a regular season game once again for Cleveland. With that being said, how many of the AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award winners can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
