Cleveland Browns (6-5) vs Baltimore Ravens (7-3), Sunday at 8:20 P.M. ET

The Browns are coming off another tough win that saw them almost get upset. The Detroit Lions have been on the upswing over the last couple of weeks but they shouldn’t be giving these AFC North clubs many issues. Cleveland won but it was a very ugly outcome.

Baker Mayfield still looks injured and continues to get worse by the week. They are not playing their best football at the moment and that will be an issue going down the stretch. These last playoff spots and division standings will be decided over these last handful of weeks.

They will now head on the road to face a tough foe, the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson should be back after missing their last game with an illness. That will make another big issue for the Browns defense to be concerned about.

The health of the road squad has become concerning each week and that will affect them going forward. If they play like they did last week then this will not be a close game. Mayfield’s play has been suspect and he is getting ready to face one of the better turnover-driven defenses in the NFL. That is going to be a big factor in this game.
