Joe Flacco (neck) placed on injured reserve, ending his season

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco's season is over after he was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury.

What It Means:

News broke early in the week that Flacco would miss Sunday's game, and then things escalated very, very quickly. The timeline grew to a couple weeks, then six weeks, and then enough to place him on injured reserve. That means Brandon Allen, who hasn't seen a single NFL snap in his career, will be starting indefinitely.

In eight games this season, Flacco threw for 1,822 yards on 65.2 percent passing with six touchdowns and five interceptions.
