Baltimore Ravens

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson ran for two touchdowns and threw two more and the defense harassed Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson in his first NFL start for most of the afternoon en route to an easy 28-3 win.

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 28-3 win over the host Cleveland Browns in Sunday’s Week 4 game.

The Ravens had four players exit with injuries in Sunday’s road game against the Cleveland Browns: Right tackle Morgan Moses (shoulder), safety Daryl Worley (shoulder) and cornerbacks Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring) and Arthur Maulet (concussion evaluation).

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was limited in practice during the week, will be replaced by rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round pick out of UCLA.

The Baltimore Ravens play the Cleveland Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium on October 1, 2023.

The Ravens squandered a series of opportunities to put away the Colts before losing, 22-19, in overtime. The Browns rode a dominant defensive performance to beat the Titans, 27-3. Which team will have the advantage Sunday?

The Ravens won't face a more difficult challenge all season than the Cleveland Browns defense, which ranks first against the pass, second against the run and has allowed one touchdown in three games.

The 153 yards the Ravens have allowed on punt returns this season is the most in the NFL and is just two shy of their total all of last season when they had one of the best special teams units in the league.
