3 key stats as the Ravens play the Cleveland Browns

As much as the Ravens have dominated the Cleveland Browns, they have been especially overpowering in Baltimore. Prior to Cleveland escaping with a 33-30 overtime decision on Oct. 11, 2015, the Ravens had compiled a 13-3 record at home against the Browns. That included a seven-game home winning streak from 2008-14. The Ravens are 15-3 in November home games under coach John Harbaugh.

Here are three stats to keep in mind before Thursday's 8:25 p.m. game at M&T Bank Stadium.

20: Points Cleveland scored in the first quarter of the teams' first meeting on Sept. 18. But the Ravens rallied back with 25 unanswered points — starting with a blocked extra point returned for two points — to seize a 25-20 win.

29.3: Rushing yards Cleveland running back Isaiah Crowell had averaged in four previous games against the Ravens until he exploded for 133 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries in the matchup in September.

32nd: The Ravens offense ranks dead last in the NFL in third-down efficiency at 31.2 percent (39 of 125 plays converted). Cleveland's defense also ranks dead last in that department, having allowed opponents to convert 49.1 percent (57-of-116) of their third downs.
