Flacco also completed two passes to tight end David Njoku totaling 64 yards, including a 36-yard strike on third-and-15. Flacco now has 11 touchdown passes since joining the Browns in Week 13. Before that, Cleveland had only nine touchdown passes.
The Browns have scored a touchdown on the opening drive in four of Flacco’s five starts this season.
After the Jets had tied the game 7-7 on a Breece Hall touchdown catch, the Browns marched the field again in a drive ending with a seven-yard Kareem Hunt touchdown run. Cleveland missed the point-after to keep the score at 13-7.
