This is my Super Bowl MVP trophy.
Its tarnished as heck, Ravens former QB Joe Flacco said on Netflixs Quarterback documentary series , showing a dusty trophy to the camera.
..
These are things you think youre going to care about a lot, and I guess the idea is, Thatd be cool, to have an office and put some things up.
And then you ultimately dont care about it.
Like this ring.
I think my kids like to look at it.
I think thats ultimately what its for.
Joe Flacco was instrumental in the Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl XLVII win.
He threw for 287 yards and three touchdown passes.
All three of those scores came in the first half alone, giving the Ravens a 21-6 lead over the San Francisco 49ers.
Four years after Flacco tried and failed to take the Ravens over the line, hed finally done it.
Flacco didnt really have it easy getting to the Super Bowl.
The Ravens lost four games towards the end of the regular season, causing some in the media to downplay their postseason chances.
However, Flacco and Baltimore held their ground.
The team advanced through the gauntlet, and the QB scored 11 touchdowns without being intercepted.
In the Wild Card game against the Indianapolis Colts, he threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns.
He tied Joe Montana and Kurt Warner for the most touchdown passes in one postseason.
His 117.2 passer rating also tied Steve Young for the third-highest by a quarterback during a Super Bowl-winning postseason, per Grantland.
However, ever the even-keeled quarterback , Flacco was not too hyped about winning the Super Bowl.
He was never a rah-rah guy.
He was himself, wide receiver Anquan Boldin noted of the QB in 2013, per NFL.com.
I think that was the big part of the entire day.
I dont think the magnitude of the game changed anything about what he did.
He was the same Joe.
Thats what I like about him: He doesnt change.
He doesnt get too up or too down.
The only reason hes keeping the Super Bowl memorabilia around is to perhaps remind his kids about everything hed done to win it all.
