'Never A Doubt!' Browns Brag & Party After Shocking 33-31 Win Over Baltimore Ravens: Live Game Log
The Baltimore Ravens played host the to Browns on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in a matchup in which both Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson were finally healthy. ... and some how, in a matchup that Cleveland won, 33-31 on a last-second kick.
“He makes plays when they’re not there, makes unbelieveable plays, leads this football team,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said of Watson. “There never was a doubt in his mind on how this game would turn out ... today, and during the week, too.”
"Never a doubt''? Really? As Cleveland partied down in the visiting locker room ... the Browns get bragging rights. And we walk you through the day ....
Both teams have built strong defenses and rely on a star quarterback. For Baltimore, Jackson has been healthy and an integral part of the Ravens' success this season. The same can't be said for the Browns and Watson, but he's expected to be back on the field on Sunday.
“Deshaun is a playmaker,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s going to do it on time with the rhythm passing and the quick game. He can do it with play-action — the boots and the play-action stuff off of their zone run game — and then he can do it as far as extending the play.”
The Ravens beat the Browns 28-3 back in Week 4, in a game Watson missed. Jackson and Watson have matched up twice when Watson was in Houston, with Jackson winning both times, 41-7 in 2019, and 33-16 in 2020.
The Browns' suffocating defense has tallied the three lowest yardage totals of the season, while the Ravens' defense has registered the No. 5 lowest yardage total, holding the Seahawks to just 151 yards in a 37-3 win last week.
“They’re very talented," Watson said. “I mean, they know exactly what they want to do. A lot of guys played a lot of football, a lot of depth in that defense, and they make you earn everything.”
