Ravens win as time expires on blocked field goal return
Coons’ kick was blocked and Will Hill picked it up.
The Browns found themselves down 27-20 with just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. The 36-year-old quarterback has put up some good numbers this season and has thrown for 1,897 yards with 11 touchdowns to four interceptions.
Monday night showed that Davis is certainly a capable quarterback.
Urban’s block and Hill’s return flipped the game in the final seconds. Leading rusher Isaiah Crowell (328 yards) had 87 scrimmage yards and a TD catch the last time these teams played.
Schaub said the only difference in preparation for him this week has been the reps with the first team. They are without their starting quarterback, their running back and one of their best receivers.

He returned to the field, but dropped to the ground after an incompletion, forcing the Browns to turn to Davis, who made eight starts for St. Louis last season but was getting his first action for Cleveland.
You can listen to team radio station affiliates right here: Browns and Ravens. But when McCown was hurt, it was not time to cave on a decision to make Manziel the third quarterback.
With all that time lost, they had to settle for a 51-yard field goal to try for the win as time expired.
Schaub has done this before during his 12-year NFLcareer. He still threw two touchdown passes and completed 20 of 34 passes for 232 yards.
Schaub bounced right back on the next drive.
Schaub said this week of practice was “really smooth” in terms of the execution and the game plan.
After Coons retaliated with a 31-yard field goal, Coons mis-hit a kickoff out of bounds, giving Baltimore possession at its 40-yard line. He faces a Ravens team (3-7 overall, 1-7-2 ATS) that ranks 24 in passing defense, allowing 257 yards per game. They don’t have to go far to get in field goal range.
The Ravens arguably have dealt with the most injuries of any team in the league, at least at their key positions.
It’s safe to say I don’t envy the Browns after looking through the multi-faceted conundrum they’re facing by simply benching Manziel.
The Browns took over at Baltimore’s 48-yard line with 50 seconds to play after Williams’ interception and promptly moved 6 yards on a Brian Hartline reception across the middle. What’s worse, tight end Rob Gronkowski (knee) was injured late in the game. In five of those games (three wins, two losses) Baltimore had a fourth-quarter lead. Kicker Justin Tucker was 2-for-2 on his opportunities, including one field goal from 49 yards.
