In his rookie year, Flacco started every game and led the Ravens to two
road wins in the 2008–09 NFL Playoffs, becoming the first rookie
quarterback in league history to win two road playoff games, while also
setting the record for most wins by a rookie starting quarterback with
13. In his second season, he improved his numbers, setting single season
franchise records for completion percentage (63.1) and quarterback
rating (88.9), and in his third season he became first all-time in
Ravens history for passing yards (10,206) and passing touchdowns (60).
Flacco's 71 wins (including playoffs) are more than any other starting
quarterback since he entered the league in 2008. He is also the only
quarterback in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first
five seasons. With Flacco as Baltimore's starting quarterback, the
Ravens have won the AFC North twice, appeared in three AFC Championship
Games, and defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. Flacco
was named Super Bowl XLVII's MVP, concluding a postseason run in which
he tied Joe Montana's single postseason record for touchdown passes (11)
without an interception.
