Joe Flacco matches uniform number with baby No. 5

There’s a new addition to the Baltimore Ravens family, and it’s not Dez Bryant.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and his wife, Dana, announced the birth of baby No. 5 -- which just happens to be his uniform number.

Thomas Kevin Flacco was born on April 6.

This is the fifth child in just over five years for the Flacco family. Baby Thomas joins Stephen (5 years old), Daniel (4), Francis (3) and Evelyn (19 months).

Flacco probably isn’t chasing Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who has eight children. A couple of years ago, Flacco said he would be satisfied with five children.

The Ravens didn't have to worry about Flacco missing a game because of the birth of his fourth son. In 2013, Flacco chose to play in Baltimore's home opener even though Daniel was born an hour before kickoff.

Flacco is used to being part of a large family, as he’s the oldest of six siblings.
