Sometimes, you just get in the zone.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco brought his A game to Tampa Bay on Sunday as he threw five touchdown passes in the first half against the Buccaneers. You read that right. Five touchdown passes.

Here is a compilation of the scoring throws he had:

If you're following at home, he started with a pair of touchdowns to Torrey Smith. Then he followed those up with throws to Kamar Aiken and Michael Campanaro. Then, barely a minute into the second quarter, he connected with Steve Smith on a 56-yard scoring strike.

Some people like to say that Joe Flacco isn't an elite quarterback. He's proving those people wrong on this day.

Flacco quieted down in the second half, finishing 21-29 for 306 yards and five touchdowns.
