Joe Flacco is getting up there in age, so taking big hits are going to hurt a lot more than they used to. He’s definitely going to be feeling the pain after the one he took today against the Dolphins.
The New York Jets sacrificial quarterback took one of the most brutal blindside hits you will ever see a quarterback take when Dolphins safety Brandon Jones came untouched with a clear shot at the veteran QB’s back.
The hit jarred the ball loose, and it was caught by defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. The big guy then got stripped, but luckily for him his teammates were there to recover the football.
