Needing a win and help to get to the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens now know that they will be facing Cleveland Browns quarterback Connor Shaw, who will be making his first NFL start.

The Ravens' strategy of trying to establish the run backfired badly as they got stuffed repeatedly at the line of scrimmage by Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt.

The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Tyler Thigpen and he'll now begin preparing to play Sunday against the Ravens, according to a league source.

Joint practices, which the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers will participate in from Saturday through Monday at the Under Armour Performance Center, have become more popular since the new collective bargaining agreement went into effect in 2011.

In today's blog post, we will break down the 2007 class.
