Remember 'Tebowing'? 'Flaccoing' Now A Thing

Discuss your thoughts on the social media phenomenon with your neighbors.

Last year the Internet was awash with photos of folks kneeling in the pose made iconic by then-Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

The Tebowing phenomenon seems to have gone away, but following a loss to those same Denver Broncos—now led by quarterback Peyton Manning—the Internet's collective attention seems to have turned to Baltimore's own Joe Flacco.

Following an interception late in the first half, Flacco ran down the field in hot pursuit of Bronco's cornerback Chris Harris and fell short.
