At the age of 41, Joe Flacco has managed to accomplish something he had yet to achieve in his lengthy career.
Flacco on Friday was added to the Pro Bowl roster for the AFC, the Cincinnati Bengals confirmed. It marks the first Pro Bowl nod of his 18-year NFL career.

Flacco is presumably replacing Josh Allen, who revealed that he has been dealing with a broken foot. Justin Herbert was the other AFC selection at quarterback.
Surprisingly, Flacco had never actually received this honor during his career. He won a Super Bowl and was the game’s MVP, and he went 96-67 during his career as the Baltimore Ravens’ starting quarterback. Despite that, he was never acknowledged with a Pro Bowl bid until now.
Flacco earned the nod based on his work with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he stepped in for Joe Burrow when Burrow was injured. In six starts, he threw for 1,664 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions.
Amazingly, Flacco’s selection means two Cleveland Browns quarterbacks made the Pro Bowl this season, as Flacco started the season with them. That is quite remarkable for a team that went 5-12.
