## Resource

Joe Flacco just edged out Mac Jones and Tua Tagovailoa to be named the NFL’s top backup quarterback, thanks to his clutch play last season when he stepped in for a hurt Burrow — all while Netflix cameras rolled. Re-signing with the Bengals felt like a homecoming for Flacco, who praised the team’s culture and was ready to deliver when called upon. Despite a past held back by a bad offense, Flacco’s poise and reliability make him the ultimate backup — and the league’s top-ranked one at that. While AFC North peers like Rudolph and Huntley lag behind, Shedeur Sanders is rising fast — but Flacco’s legacy proves that experience and grit still matter more than flash.
