Quarterback Joe Flacco gave Baltimore Ravens fans a scare Sunday when he limped to the locker room after getting his leg bent under him on an awkward slide.
Flacco tore his ACL last season and appeared for a moment to have suffered the same injury - or worse.

But fans breathed a sigh of relief moments later when Flacco returned to the field. His trip to the locker room was merely to fix the knee brace he broke on the slide.
