Browns Win First Game, Stefanski Sticks with Struggling QB Flacco

The Cleveland Browns secured their first win of the 2025 NFL season with a 13-10 upset over the Green Bay Packers, relying heavily on defensive plays and a game-winning 55-yard field goal by rookie Andre Szmyt. Despite the victory, quarterback Joe Flacco struggled, completing 21 of 36 passes for 142 yards with one interception and five turnovers in three games. Head coach Kevin Stefanski, facing calls to bench Flacco, stated he will continue to start the 40-year-old veteran, citing injuries to the offensive line and Flacco's experience as key factors. Stefanski emphasized the challenges posed by a strong Packers defense and expressed confidence in Flacco's ability to lead the team through a tough upcoming schedule. Rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders remain on the bench as Stefanski opts for consistency at the quarterback position, although Browns fans remain eager for a spark from the offense. The Browns' defense and running back Quinshon Judkins also played pivotal roles in the win, highlighting the team's potential despite offensive struggles.
