Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco tuned in to watch his former team in the Baltimore Ravens pick up a 33-19 win over the San Francisco 49ers on "Monday Night Football."
Baltimore recorded seven scoring drives against San Francisco, and its defense came away with a combined five interceptions off quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold. Overall, the Ravens have won an astounding eight games by at least 10 points this season.
Flacco has kept an eye on his former team from afar, and it comes as no surprise to him that the Ravens have once again emerged as a serious contender to win the Super Bowl.

"They’re going to be able to deal with adversity. You could talk those guys up forever. They’re just a really good football team.

"I think they should be excited where they are for sure."
Flacco and the Browns are still in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the AFC, which is currently held by the Ravens. Cleveland would clinch the top spot in the conference if it wins its final two regular season games, the Ravens drop their last two contests of the year, and the Buffalo Bills clinch a road win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18.
The Browns are set to host the New York Jets on "Thursday Night Football," while the Ravens will square off with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
