During Sipe’s 1980 season, he won NFL MVP and tied for third in completion percentage (60.8%), finished second in total passing yards (4,132), and tied for second in passing touchdowns (30).
It was also during the season he led the Browns to a AFC divisional playoff game appearance, where the infamous “Red Right 88″ took place, resulting in a 14-12 loss to the Raiders.
While Flacco will not even qualify for league MVP due to lack of games played, it gives a good sign for the direction this offense can go with him at quarterback. Through two games, he’s completed 55.1% of his passes for 565 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions.
