Game Information: The Baltimore Ravens will face the Cleveland Browns in the 1st AFC North Division matchup for both teams this season. These rivals meet this Sunday, Sept. 27, at 1 p.m. at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens, 31-26 winners at San Diego last Sunday, bring a 2-0 mark into the game, while the Browns are 0-2 after dropping a 27-6 decision at Denver. Baltimore, which made the playoffs as a Wild Card entrant a year ago, leads the AFC North by a game over the 1-1 Steelers and Bengals. The Browns are in 4th place. In the victory over the Chargers, the Ravens were 3-of-4 scoring TDs in red zone possessions, while San Diego was 0-for-5. Ten-time Pro Bowler Ray Lewis made what he called “one of the greatest plays of my career” when he stopped RB Darren Sproles for a 5-yard loss on a Chargers’ 4th-and-2 at the Baltimore 15-yard line with 37 seconds left in the game. RB Willis McGahee rushed for 79 yards and totaled 2 TDs, while QB Joe Flacco hit WR Kelley Washington (27 yards) and TE Todd Heap (9 yards) with TD passes. Following the home game against the Browns, the Ravens go back on the road to begin a 3-game October stretch that begins with a 10/4 contest at the New England Patriots. Baltimore is back at M&T Bank Stadium to meet the Bengals on 10/11 before traveling to Minnesota for a matchup at the Vikings on 10/18. The Ravens’ bye weekend is Oct. 25.
