The Baltimore Ravens’ final week of practice for the season opener began Wednesday before they host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
The Browns game served as a turning point for the Ravens in 2019, on their way to the best record in the NFL. So, in some ways, maybe they owe the Browns a thank you, but they hope not to need another lesson in 2020.
The 40-25 September shellacking forced the Ravens to make a gut check, and some hard decisions.
Looking back now, though, I don’t get a sense head coach John Harbaugh is ready to offer his thanks to Cleveland.
