Joe Flacco

No. 16 · 19th season

Joe Flacco's whole career just became a Netflix season

Most quarterbacks get a ring or a rebuild. Joe Flacco got both, and now he gets a camera crew.

Flacco has spent the last few seasons doing something most players at his stage simply don't: staying relevant. He went from backup to emergency starter to legitimate playoff quarterback in Cleveland, and then kept going — still finding the field, still finding teams that needed what he had. He is the kind of player who never quite fits the tidy narrative arc, which is maybe exactly why he was picked for this.

Season Three of the Netflix series 'Quarterback' — now streaming — follows Flacco alongside Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans, and Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders across the full 2025-26 NFL season. The show has always been about what the job actually looks like up close, and putting a veteran in his forties next to a couple of players just starting out makes for a pretty honest picture of how long this thing can go.

For Flacco, the cameras come at a moment when his story has no obvious ending. He's still in the league, still being asked to lead. The series gets to find out what that looks like from the inside.

Whatever the season brings him, at least this time there will be footage.
