If the Baltimore Ravens were to play the Cleveland Browns every week, they might be the playoff contenders everyone expected at the beginning of the season instead of 4-7 and five games out of first place in the AFC North with five games remaining.
The Ravens managed to outlast the Browns, 33-27, in one of the strangest Monday night games of the season. Matt Schaub filled in for an injured Joe Flacco (knee) for the Ravens, and Cleveland found itself using Austin Davis in the fourth quarter in place of Josh McCown, who went down after suffering a shoulder injury.
