Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens: Week 6 Need to Know
Cleveland welcomes Baltimore to town with first place on the line. Here is everything to know about the game.
The Cleveland Browns will host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, with the outcome potentially determining first place in the AFC North Division. The Ravens have a three-game winning streak, courtesy of backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who is set to start again after Lamar Jackson's ankle injury. The Browns, currently at 3-2, would leapfrog the Ravens and Steelers into first place with a win, thanks to previous victories over both teams.
However, both teams face injury concerns. For the Browns, defensive tackles Kalia Davis and Mike Hall Jr. will miss the game, while defensive end Derek Barnett, defensive tackle Mason Graham, and linebacker Carson Schwesinger are questionable. For the Ravens, tight end Matthew Hibner, quarterback Lamar Jackson, center Cam Jurgens, and defensive tackle Broderick Washington are out, with offensive guard Emery Jones Jr., wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane, and offensive guard Andrew Vorhees all questionable.
The Browns' defense will be lacking key players, while the Ravens have a strong rushing attack. Baltimore's running back Derek Henry averages just 57.9 yards per game against the Browns, the lowest among all teams he's faced more than five times. Cleveland's defense has only allowed one rushing touchdown this season, and they've not permitted a 300-yard passer for 50 consecutive games.
Defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg plans to employ an attack front to slow down the Ravens. The Browns are favored by 3 points, with an over/under of 39.5 points set at FanDuel.
