New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco made what very well may be the final start of his NFL career on Sunday, but one of his children did not seem to care.

Flacco’s son Daniel, who is 9, is a big fan of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The youngster wore a Hill jersey to Sunday’s game at Hard Rock Stadium. Flacco introduced Daniel and two of his other sons to the Pro Bowl receiver before kickoff.

That’s cold.

Flacco said leading up to the game that his sons were excited for him to start but that Daniel may have been more thrilled to have an opportunity to wear his Hill jersey. The veteran quarterback clearly was not joking.
