Ravens Starting New QB

As many of his star teammates had gone down and the losses started to pile up this season, quarterback Joe Flacco remained one of the few constants for the Ravens. But in their 16-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium, Flacco became the latest player to see his season prematurely end in what has quickly become the most disappointing campaign in franchise history. The Ravens have three wins this year and 18 players have suffered season-ending injuries.

On the first play of the Ravens' game-winning drive, Flacco tore a ligament in his left knee, an injury that ends his season and put his status for 2016 in jeopardy. For the first time since 2007, the Ravens will have a different starting quarterback, Matt Schaub, next week. “I'm probably still in shock a little bit,” Flacco said after the game. “You play football and you play as long as I have and you play as hard as we do out there, then stuff like this happens. You have to just stand tall and be tough about it. That's all you can do. I think that's the way I am about everything in my life, and I'm not going to be any different this time.”
