What to expect from tonight’s Browns vs. Ravens game?
The last time these two teams faced off was the infamous Jackson cramp game. The QB had gone to the locker room with horrible cramps. Suddenly, he returned on a fourth down and threw a 44-yard touchdown to WR Marquise Brown to save Baltimore’s 2020 playoff hopes.
While the Ravens hold the AFC North’s keys at the moment, can they continue their winning ways as the meat of their divisional action begins?
Lamar Jackson returns to action tonight on Sunday Night Football
Jackson has been cleared from the injury list and is ready to go following his illness-related absence in Week 11. While backup QB Tyler Huntley did enough against the Bears to eke out a win, having Jackson back makes things much more comfortable.
The past month hasn’t been kind to the Ravens, but the Browns have also had their struggles, as they’ve given up 30+ points in four games this season. If Jackson can get things going for Baltimore, getting the Browns on their heels will be paramount. Cleveland’s defense ranks highly in most metrics, but they haven’t fared well overall against opponents with winning records.
Cleveland sees the return of RT Jack Conklin and RB Kareem Hunt from injured reserve, and the timing couldn’t be better. The Ravens have held teams to just 88.6 rushing yards per game this season. Cleveland rushes for a league-high 156.8 yards per game. Which will give first, the unstoppable force or the immovable object?
Cleveland better have a backup plan if the force is stopped. Relying on QB Baker Mayfield has produced mixed results. The Ravens win a close one, as usual, tonight on Sunday Night Football.
