COLUMBUS – The Cleveland Browns are winless, 0-9 for the first time in this version of the franchise’s history. They are ranked dead last at No. 32 in the AP Pro32.
And now they must play on a short week at their hated rival, the Ravens — who used to be the Browns before fleeing to Baltimore in 1996.
Baltimore was floundering, losing four in a row before beating Pittsburgh, another hated rival for both the Ravens and Browns.
A win over Cleveland could give the Ravens sole possession of first place in the AFC North.
