Joe Flacco's Top-5 Most Improbable Completions in Week 15

Sunday was a tale of two Flaccos. The first, second and third acts were the Joe Flacco that we didn't want to see but feared was still in him.

Flacco was admittedly pretty bad before getting to the fourth quarter against the Bears. When the Browns had their backs against the wall, Flacco channeled his "Elite" gene and went off. He would complete 11-of-13 passes in the fourth for 212 yards and a touchdown.

NFL's NextGen Stats put a number to each of his most improbable completions and cut up the Top-5.

Number 5: 51-Yard Touchdown to Amari Cooper - 54.7 Percent

This throw was sick. Every angle of it gets better and better. Flacco pulled out his inner gunslinger and found a hole in the Bears' defense that was just big enough to fit the ball in and Cooper did the rest. The Browns' needed it badly.

Number 4: 57-Yard Completion to Marquise Goodwin - 39 Percent

Prior to this completion, Goodwin had three catches on the year for 10 yards. No Browns quarterback to this point has been able to get him the football but Flacco changed that on Sunday. This element of the Browns' offense could be unlocked on this stretch run.

Number 3: 11-Yard Completion to Cedric Tillman - 33.9 Percent

This one was a little less flashy than the others. Just a simple curl route here that Flacco reached deep into his bag found his fastball and let it rip. We highlighted this in our film study, he uncorked this throw, and his arm strength definitely caught my attention.

Number 2: 42-Yard Completion to Amari Cooper - 26.5 Percent

This play was huge in the game. The Browns were spinning their tires, Flacco had just thrown his first interception and they couldn't get anything going until this play. Flacco broke the pocket and flushed to his right, Cooper felt his movement and took off up the field and Flacco found him. This would set up the Browns' first touchdown.

Number 1: 2-Yard Touchdown to David Njoku - 24.8 Percent

The Chief strikes again and this time, he decided to dunk on the defender's head. Quarterbacks are taught that once the defensive back turns his head, your guy is wide open, just give him a chance. This time, Njoku made the most of it.

It's not every week that a Browns' quarterback has the headlining video anywhere, but this week was a different story.

Flacco was elite in the fourth quarter on Sunday and the Browns needed it to get the win.
