Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland Browns Game Preview

Baltimore arrives as one of the most complete offensive units in the league, ranking first in early-down success (100th pctl) and near the top in explosive running (91st pctl), explosive passing (84th pctl), red zone touchdown rate (88th pctl), and points per drive (88th pctl). There is almost no weakness to attack on that side of the ball.

Cleveland's offense provides a stark contrast: early-down success at 28th pctl, third-down conversion at 9th pctl, red zone TD rate at 9th pctl, points per drive at 16th pctl. The Browns' clearest asset is their pass rush (80th pctl), and Baltimore's protection has shown some vulnerability (25th pctl sack rate allowed) -- that is the one lever Cleveland can realistically pull.

Check back the day before the game for the full preview and picks.
