Browns take another loss, this 1 of historic proportions
Waller, who served a four-game suspension earlier this season, lined up in the slot and looped around cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun and gathered in Flacco’s pass at the back of the east (tunnel) end zone to put Baltimore back in front, 13-7. Nothing against Cody. It’s tough when you’re a young player and you come in, you play a week before and you’ve got to play on a Thursday.
It’s nothing to brag about that the Ravens routed the Browns, but imagine if they had lost.
“That’s what championship teams need”, Dixon said.
Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes, and the Baltimore Ravens beat Cleveland 28-7 on Thursday night to leave the winless Browns at a historic low point in franchise history.
But the Browns look to be seriously contending that mark.
BALTIMORE (AP) – Getting off to the worst start in franchise history is one thing. “I am going to do what I think is best for our football team”.
2nd Half Adjustments – It’s unbelievable how opponents make changes during halftime. That gives Cleveland’s foes a 157-51 edge in the second half and overtime this season. Baltimore failed to hold 10-0 leads to the Giants and Jets, and the Ravens watched the Steelers get within one score after jumping out to a 21-0 advantage.
Terrance West (21 carries, 65 yards) and Kenneth Dixon (6-for-38) keyed a ground game that totaled 119 yards on 35 carries. Last night’s game, in fact, was his seventh start of the season. What you’ll see below makes it pretty clear why. Kessler will start when the Browns return November 20 against Pittsburgh. They had 12 men on the field. He was yanked after going 2-for-15 on third down in his last two games and missing some plays in this one. Instead of one horrific season to focus on, there will be two.
The Ravens had gone 17 possessions without an offensive touchdown, a span of more than 77 minutes in football time that felt far longer to the fans who booed the home team at different points of an ugly first half. Even more unsurpisingly, the decision blew up in their faces. McCown was just flat out terrible. He threw a couple of bad interceptions. Baltimore then drove to the Browns’ 7-yard line with 10:29 left in the half, but could only manage a 25-yard field goal by Justin Tucker.
No Injuries: The good news is the Browns seemed to come out of the Ravens game with no significant injuries.
Joe Flacco was sacked twice and hit six times, and the Ravens had trouble with linebacker Jamie Collins all night. But with an 0-16 season looking like a real possibility, Jackson addressed his job security with an upbeat attitude. There are only six games remaining. “Me and Cody had a great conversation (Friday) morning”. This Browns writer is done covering the week ten game.
