Joe Flacco will start Sunday for the Browns, who are turning to the veteran quarterback to keep them in the playoff chase.

The 38-year-old Flacco is the fourth QB to start this season for the Browns (7-4). He was signed two weeks ago after Deshaun Watson underwent shoulder surgery, and Flacco is playing this week against the Rams because rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson remains in concussion protocol after getting hurt in last week’s loss to the Broncos.

If Flacco plays well this week, he’ll likely remain the Browns’ starter for the rest of this season.
