Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns

Browns C Alex Mack: The two-time Pro Bowl selection had a rough outing in the first game this season against Baltimore, when the Ravens sacked McCown four times. The Ravens have wins this season over the Steelers, Chargers and Rams. During his last season as a starter for the Texans in 2013, he threw 10 touchdowns and 14 interceptions as they lost the final eight games in which Schaub played. He played in two games with Chicago this season, starting once. The Browns managed just 160 yards of offense that night and never crossed Baltimore’s 45-yard line. After kicker Justin Tucker tied the game on a 23-yard field goal with 25 seconds left during the fourth quarter, Cleveland kicker Travis Coons answered with a 32-yard game-winner in the extra period.

The key piece to John DeFilippo’s initial game plan for the Ravens was removed Tuesday when Johnny Manziel was moved down the depth chart and replaced by Josh McCown.

Journeyman Josh McCown, 36, will start instead of Manziel.

It hasn’t always been doom and gloom for the Orange and Brown on what was once the league’s lone weekly primetime game.

One of the most sensational success stories during this 12-game stretch involved the Browns in 2008, when they beat the defending champion New York Giants 35-14 as an 8.5-point underdog.

Neither one of these teams expected to be as bad as their records are this late into the season, but the Browns and Ravens enter Week 12 with a combined 5-15 mark. I know what a competitor he is having been around him, how much he loves football, how important it is to him. The 24-year-old’s four touchdowns this season lead all Ravens pass-catchers and rushers.

PREDICTION: Neither team is complete due to injuries, but Cleveland claws out a win against what amounts to Baltimore’s B team.

Davis played in 10 games with eight starts for the St. Louis Rams in 2014.

The oddsmakers are looking at the Ravens injury-riddled team and wondering who exactly poses a threat. The 12th-year journeyman amassed a career-high 457 yards and threw two touchdowns in leading Cleveland (2-8) to its most recent victory, a 33-30 overtime triumph in Baltimore on October 11.

McCown sounded practically chagrined to be back in the starting role for the Browns, because he got the job back because of the team’s disappointment with Johnny Manziel’s bye-week partying.
