The Baltimore Ravens are absolutely cruising, heading into halftime with a dominant 10-0 lead over the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore’s defense has completely suffocated Cleveland’s offense through two quarters, making life miserable for everyone in brown and orange.
Ravens Flying High with Huntley
Tyler Huntley, stepping up for an injured Lamar Jackson for the second week in a row, has the Ravens in control. He capped their very first possession with a sweet 2-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end Josh Cuevas. Then, Tyler Loop nailed a 34-yard field goal on Baltimore’s second drive, extending their lead to a full 10 points. Huntley’s looking sharp, going 14-of-21 for 107 yards and that touchdown. He’s even picked up 22 yards on three rushes, keeping the Browns D guessing. Derrick Henry’s grinding it out too, with 41 yards on 11 attempts so far.
Browns Stuck in the Mud, Watson Under Fire
Woof. What a half for the Browns offense. They managed just one first down and a pathetic 7 total yards by the end of the first quarter! They got a couple more in the second, but still finished the half with only 46 total yards. Deshaun Watson is clearly uncomfortable in the pocket, holding onto the ball way too long, getting hit and sacked. Baltimore’s D has brought him down three times already. He’s only 3-of-9 passing for 24 yards, with Jerry Jeudy snagging two of those for 23 yards. It’s a rough scene out there. On the injury front, the Ravens’ receiver Rashod Bateman is questionable to return with a shoulder injury, and Browns safety Grant Delpit is out due to a concussion.
Man, what a statement by the Ravens defense in that first half. You have to wonder what kind of adjustments, if any, the Browns can even make to get anything going. Can Watson find *any* rhythm, or will Baltimore’s D just keep shutting them down? The second half is gonna be a test of Cleveland’s resolve, that’s for sure.
