For at least the first drive on Sunday, Joe Flacco made it look easy.
In his first drive of his first start for the Browns, Flacco tossed a 24-yard touchdown to Jerome Ford to give Cleveland an early 7-0 lead over the Rams.
Flacco was 4-of-5 for 65 yards with a touchdown on the opening possession, including a strike on third-and-14 to Amari Cooper for a 22-yard gain.
The Browns also converted third-and-2 with a 6-yard run by Kareem Hunt.
We’ll see if Flacco can keep it up once the Rams defense gets a better handle on how Cleveland wants to attack the unit this afternoon.
