Joe Flacco’s First Start Back in Baltimore Headlines Ravens–Browns Week 2 Home Opener

Baltimore enters as a double-digit favorite after both teams dropped one-point openers.

Overview

  • Cleveland’s defense held Cincinnati to 141 yards in Week 1 but enters on a three-game takeaway drought, with seven straight games without multiple turnovers.
  • The Ravens will mark their 30th season in Baltimore with purple throwback end zones revealed for the home opener at M&T Bank Stadium.
  • Trash talk set the tone this week as Browns WR Jerry Jeudy said Baltimore’s secondary poses “no challenges” and S Grant Delpit called tackling Derrick Henry “not hard.”
  • Both teams are breaking in rookie kickers after early miscues, including Browns K Andre Szmyt missing a late 35-yard attempt that would have given Cleveland the lead.
  • Injury notes list Browns DT Michael Hall Jr. out, OT Jack Conklin and RB Quinshon Judkins questionable, and the Ravens ruling out TE Isaiah Likely and FB Patrick Ricard.
