This is, without a doubt, the biggest clash between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns in the recent history of the rivalry. Both teams are still alive in the AFC playoff hunt, but for a change, it is Cleveland who holds the box seat at present.
A lot has changed since these teams met in Baltimore in Week 1. The 9-3 Browns are second in the AFC North and if the season ended today they would be in the playoffs for the first time in 2002 as the 5th seed. The 7-5 Ravens would miss the postseason given their present record, as they trail all seven playoff teams and the Las Vegas Raiders. There really is an awful lot to play for in Cleveland on Monday night.
Let’s take a closer look at what the Ravens can expect to see from the Browns this week.
