When the Ravens are on offense:
The Browns defense should be another great match up for the Ravens’ tight ends. Jared Cook had eight receptions for 110 yards and two touchdowns last week against Cleveland. This is a good barometer. Cook was hot against the Broncos and Mark Andrews had a couple big plays the next week. The Browns offense played a lot of zone coverage in the red zone. With the weapons the Ravens have, the offensive line just has to give Flacco time to throw the football and good things should happen.
The Ravens would be wise to get the running backs involved in the passing game. Marshawn Lynch had three grabs for 27 yards. Jalen Richard also made a big play in the passing game against Cleveland. This could be a good game for the running backs in general. Lynch had 132 yards on 20 carries, which continues the Browns’ struggles to stop the run.
Joe Flacco shouldn’t be intimidated going into this game. Yes, the Browns have some front seven monsters like Myles Garrett and Larry Ogunjobi. Yes, the Damarius Randall is coming off a two interception game, but Flacco is about to shred this defense. Derek Carr just put up 437 yards and four touchdowns. The Browns secondary had huge blown coverage problems.
