5 reasons the Ravens will win in Week 16

Let’s take a quick look at all the reasons the Ravens won’t let the Browns sweep the series in 2019.

As the frontrunner for MVP, Jackson has proven to be one of, if not the hardest player to prepare for this season. Even the best defensive players and minds struggle to account for his speed on the ground, and improving-by-the-game accuracy through the air.

Better teams have tried (and failed) to shut down Jackson but there seems to be no stopping his dual-threat abilities. Ironically, the Browns’ defense put up one of the best efforts this season, limiting the second-year star to only 66 yards rushing (on the lower end of his performances) and forcing two interceptions in their prior meeting.

Jackson was still able to throw three touchdowns in a vain comeback attempt but with the Ravens offense firing on all cylinders recently, plus the help of a more stingy defense, the Browns will likely have a much more difficult task keeping pace this time around.
