Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns Analysis
DeShaun Watson had his best game as the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns last week. The signal-caller was 27 of 33 for 289 yards and two touchdowns. He was sacked three times but did not turn the ball over. His top target was Amari Cooper. Cooper was outstanding, with seven receptions and 116 yards. Cooper now has 243 yards via the air on the season.
Jerome Ford is now the new running back for the Cleveland Browns. He is taking over for Nick Chubb, who is out for the remainder of the season. Looking at his NFL player stats, Ford rushed ten times in the win but also caught a touchdown pass. He will share the load with Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong. The Cleveland Browns roster will see what they can do to carry the load of losing Chubb.
Cleveland has the best defense in the league, allowing just 10.7 points per game.
Ravens’ Regret
The Baltimore Ravens know that the loss on Sunday was one they should not have let get away. Justin Tucker missed a late field goal, but Matt Gay did not. His four field goals won the game for the Colts over the Ravens. In the game, Lamar Jackson did not throw for a touchdown but did rush for two. He finished the game with 101 yards on the ground.
J.K. Dobbins is out for the season for the Ravens, and now Gus Edwards is questionable. The Ravens may turn to Melvin Gordon or Kenyan Drake to carry the load offensively. Zay Flowers caught eight passes for 48 yards in the game and is now 12 yards shy of 700 on the season. His NFL MVP odds are slim.
Looking at the NFL team stats, Baltimore is 8th in the league, allowing 18.3 points per game. The NFL Schedule shows that the Ravens are playing their first of back-to-back road games, as they were at Pittsburgh last week.
