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.
