Yahoo Sports NFL on Joe Flacco

Flacco won 2023 Comeback POY over Hamlin; prompted AP to clarify award criteria for 2024.

Flacco won Comeback Player of the Year after the 2023 season after joining the Cleveland Browns midseason and leading them to the playoffs, taking home the honor over Buffalo Bills defender Damar Hamlin. However, NFL pundits believed Flacco came back from a poor previous season, not real adversity, which prompted the AP to issue updated award guidance for 2024 that emphasizes honoring players who have demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity by overcoming illness, physical injury, or other circumstances that led them to miss playing time the previous season.
