The Joe Flacco-led Cleveland Browns look incredible heading into the postseason.
The Browns are on a four-game winning streak with Flacco under center and locked up a playoff spot on Thursday in a huge win over the New York Jets.
Cleveland tight end David Njoku has been instrumental in Flacco’s success during his five-game stint with the Browns, too.
Njoku has caught 30 receptions for 390 yards and four touchdowns since Week 13 and has at least six catches or 90 receiving yards in his past four games.
“David Njoku is an incredible teammate and he’s something special to watch,” Flacco said on “The Pat McAfee Show” this week, via theScore.

Flacco himself is playing at a high level with Njoku, as the veteran has already thrown for 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns in his five games with four consecutive 300-yard performances under his belt.
Njoku is in his seventh season with Cleveland but has already topped his career-high marks this year with 81 receptions for 882 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games.
He and Flacco will be incredibly important in the Browns’ Super Bowl journey this year, especially with wide receivers Elijah Moore and Amari Cooper battling injuries.
Moore suffered a concussion in the Week 17 win over the Jets, while Cooper is recovering from a heel injury and missed this week’s game.
An AFC North title isn’t out of the picture yet, as well, but the Browns would need to win next week against the Cincinnati Bengals and would need the Baltimore Ravens to lose their next two contests in order for Cleveland to win the division.
