Browns fall 28-7, Jackson makes questionable decision

Cleveland took advantage and grabbed a 7-3 lead on the next possession with a 25-yard pass from Kessler to Seth DeValve, a rookie tight end from Princeton. “We will continue to fight and work hard and we will be successful”. Can somebody please order a drug test for the Ravens head coach. Just when I was thinking maybe Harbaugh is a genius, I remembered good times never last for the team that plays their home games in a place dubbed “The Factory of Sadness”.

The quarterback credited a switch to an up-tempo style of offense for the team’s success in the second half. Coach Jackson made the decision for me to come out. “I said world champion and Cleveland in the same sentence”. I think that’s the best way to go about it, and if it works, we’ll be excited about. “Nobody’s thinking too much”.

Flacco completed 30 of 41 passes for 296 yards.

The Ravens were able to control the ball for a season-high 38:36 and convert seven of 12 third-down plays while winning their sixth Thursday night game in their last seven chances, while becoming the only AFC North team to sport a winning record. The offense was far from flawless, the offensive line struggled to open up holes in the running game. Hue Jackson’s decision to bench Kessler following the opening drive three and out in the second half really blew up in his face. On the first interception, my arm got hit as I threw and they intercepted it. I guess they considered the contact that Steve Smith had with him all the way back at the 10 as enough to consider him “touched down” at the one? “(I’ve been) working for it for a long time, and it finally came today. But the second the Ravens’ offense got on the field in the third quarter, everything changed.

By the time this one was over, it may have resembled a laugher on paper but the concerns remain for Baltimore in that Flacco is still not the same player since his ACL injury late last season. These are the Browns, of course;.500 is a drastic improvement for them, right?

“I have total faith and confidence in them and the vision that we’ve created”. No, not really. However, he finished the night with the win and made the plays he needed to. “Tonight, obviously, it worked out for us”.

Cleveland has opened a season with 10 consecutive losses for the first time since joining the National Football League in 1950.

The Ravens scored their third touchdown of the second half and took a 28-7 lead over the Browns on Flacco’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Perriman with 6:21 to play in the fourth quarter. He’s as tough as ever, but the Ravens have a new top receiver this year in Mike Wallace, who has 673 yards on 43 catches this season with four touchdowns. Baltimore combined to rush for 119 yards as a team.

“I just thought there were some things that normally he does real well”, Jackson said. Three games? That’s a first that the center would rather not experience.

NOTES: The Ravens wore an all purple alternate home jersey with gold numbers as they participated in the recent “color rush” craze now sweeping the NFL.
