Deion Sanders Talks About Going Against Joe Flacco’s College Team Delaware In Week 2 Matchup

In their week 2 matchup, Deion Sanders’ Colorado took on Delaware after their initial 27-20 loss to Georgia Tech. The Buffs flipped the narrative with a 31-7 win against Delaware on September 6.

But here’s the twist: Delaware is the alma mater of longtime NFL quarterback Joe Flacco.

And that detail added an unexpected wrinkle, because Flacco’s career just came full circle after signing with the Cleveland Browns, where he now shares a locker room with Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son and Colorado’s former star quarterback.

That connection made this game more than just a routine early-season contest. It was another chance for Coach Prime to show how his program is stepping onto bigger stages while also tying into a storyline with NFL relevance.

The Hall of Famer himself hinted at the added intrigue during a recent live broadcast with Mark Johnson, the Voice of the Buffs, before the match, acknowledging the Delaware-Flacco connection and how it fits into the bigger picture of Colorado’s rise under his leadership.

Coach Prime hinted that his son Shedeur and Joe Flacco, now teammates in Cleveland, have made this game a little more personal. “I don’t suppose to say this, but I will… Joe and Shedeur have some on this game,” Coach Prime said.

That revelation added a playful edge, suggesting that bragging rights between the two quarterbacks are riding on Colorado’s performance.

For Sanders, highlighting moments like this is part of his knack for turning ordinary games into must-watch events. What could have been just another early-season test carried a layer of NFL-flavored intrigue, with Shedeur and Flacco trading jabs in the background while Colorado looked to prove itself on the field. Coach Prime clearly enjoys that added spark, and he knows fans do too.
