Welcome to the Week 14 grades!

If we learned one thing on Sunday, it’s that you can go from watching football at your mom’s house to winning an NFL game in just a matter of weeks. Three weeks ago, Joe Flacco was watching NFL games at his mom’s house. This week, I’m guessing everyone at his mom’s house was watching him pick apart the Jaguars in a huge 31-27 win for the Browns. 

Flacco wasn’t the only backup who had a lot of success in Week 14. The Bengals also got another impressive performance from Jake Browning. The Bengals QB completed 18 of 24 passes and he is now completing passes at a 79% rate, which gives him the highest completion percentage in NFL history for a player in his first three career starts. That’s pretty solid. 

Speaking of solid, let’s get to the grades, starting with Browning’s Bengals.
