Joe Flacco was never much of a runner, even when he was young — so when the 39-year-old quarterback scampered into the end zone during the Colts-Bengals joint practice it stunned everyone.
Joe Flacco ran for a touchdown in practice and everyone laughed at his old ass
Run Joe, run.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
I don’t know if any athlete wants to see a play met with laughter from their opponents, but Flacco’s run was so unexpected that the Bengals defense could only just laugh it off and realize this wasn’t something they’d need to worry about in 2024.
Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo wasn’t mad with his team for allowing the TD — instead he was just cracking up.
At this point Flacco has played 16 years in the NFL and his career rushing stats are — well:
377 carries for 867 yards.
Now, that might not seem terrible in isolation, but keep in mind that he’s played since “Low” by Flo Rida was the No. 1 song in the country and he still hasn’t hit 1,000 career rushing yards, and likely never will.
At least Von Bell thinks Flacco still has some life left in him.
We’d tell Joe Flacco to never change, but old dogs can’t learn new tricks anyway.
