Place Ravens flourish at expense of winless Browns

“It depends on people beating one-on-one coverage”.

Yet again, this might be meaningless to think because we have no idea if the Cleveland Browns will be able to get him signed into the future.

The first place Ravens get a mini-bye before their next game a week from Sunday in Dallas.

Speaking of winning, it was only the fifth time in 21 games since 2013 the Ravens won when Flacco threw the ball 40 or more times.

Sure, the Browns are the worst team in the league, and their head coach Hue Jackson employed an unusual platoon at the quarterback position. Then the second half rolled around and Cody Kessler rightfully stayed on the field as the quarterback. Against the Ravens he had a first half touchdown pass, but after a second half opening three-and-out, was 1-for-6 on third down. Meanwhile, McCown was just 6-of-13 for 59 yards with two interceptions and a lost fumble. The Browns dropped to 0-10 on the season, and still have their bye ahead of them in Week 13.

Williams opened the season with rushing outputs of 143 and 94 yards while filling in for the suspended Le’Veon Bell. Subsequent X-rays were negative, but he did not return.

The halftime pep talk likely wrote itself for Harbaugh because the potential of losing to a winless team and the ignominy of being badgered about it by the media for a week is not something high on anyone’s list.

John Urschel was inserted in place of Lewis, but that used up the Ravens’ guard allotment; Vladimir Ducasse got the right guard start in place of the inactive Marshal Yanda (shoulder) and Ryan Jensen. I do understand what the issues are and where we are and where we are going to go, but also, it has been tough. A two-point conversion on a slant to Kyle Juszczyk boosted the margin to 21-7 with 2:05 left in the third quarter. He was picked off twice when throwing into the end zone.

“We just wanted to come out and dominate”, Jernigan said. (LT Joe Thomas said he only realized a QB change had been made when McCown jogged out to the line of scrimmage.) Or that McCown threw picks on two of his first three series? The Ravens finally put away a bad football team, and it didn’t take them until the last play of game to secure the victory. The Browns punted on five of his six drives, and netted 20 or fewer yards on those five.

“It felt great”, Dixon said. “I’m going to try something and I will continue to try”. Was anyone better off that some insane technicality that defied the vision of fans at home and the referee better off with the Browns starting at the one-yard line after making a great defensive play on Steve Smith and Joe Flacco?

Enter McCown, who immediately threw an interception. Carlota Ciganda birdied three of the last six holes for a 5-under 67 and a share of the lead with Sarah Jane Smith in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico City. The defense had to call a timeout before the first snap of the game due to having 12 men on the field.

Baltimore’s next drive, however, was run on a short field.

The interesting thing is that Kessler is better than McCown in every statistical category. That was when the game officially ended.
