 Flacco went down with a torn ACL, and possibly a torn MCL, Baltimore
coach John Harbaugh said after the Ravens' 16-13 win.
Harbaugh said Flacco suffered the injury on their last offensive
series, which he still finished, with the Ravens winning on Justin
Tucker's 47-yard field goal as time expired.
"It's just the nature of the game, man," said Flacco, Super Bowl MVP
for the champion Ravens three seasons ago.
"Stuff like this happens. So you've just got to stand tall and get
through it."
The injury will stop Flacco's streak of consecutive starts to open
his career at 122 regular season games.
The bitter-sweet victory for the 3-7 Ravens over the 4-6 Rams also
saw them lose Pro Bowl running back Justin Forsett for the rest of
the season after he sustained a broken arm.
