The Cleveland Browns come off a tough but narrow loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the season opener, falling 17-16, as Joe Flacco’s performance wasn’t enough to secure a victory.

Flacco threw two interceptions and saw several of his passes dropped by receivers. He reflected on the loss after the game, according to reporter Zac Jackson. The veteran quarterback understood that his mistakes hurt the team’s chances but acknowledged that errors are part of football.

“That’s football. I’m wishing I threw it a little bit better…we’re all going home tonight and trying to sleep with that on our chest,” Flacco said. He made it clear that there were many mistakes to fix but stressed that those errors could serve as motivation for the team.
