Ravens Roll Past Browns 41-17 on Second-Half Surge and Game-Changing Takeaways

Giveaways plus a blocked punt spotted Baltimore 21 points, prompting Myles Garrett to label Cleveland's performance embarrassing.

Overview

  • Baltimore turned a 10-3 halftime edge into a rout by scoring on all four second-half possessions, including a Roquan Smith 63-yard fumble-return touchdown.
  • Kevin Stefanski said Cleveland effectively handed over 21 points via a blocked punt, an interception and a fumble that were converted into quick scores.
  • Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes and, at 102.6, moved into first place all time in NFL career passer rating.
  • Cleveland fell to 0-2 as Joe Flacco committed two turnovers in another inefficient outing, with Stefanski not considering a quarterback change postgame.
  • The Browns’ run defense stayed elite by holding Derrick Henry to 23 rushing yards, but late defensive lapses and special-teams breakdowns flipped field position.
