You may need to take a close look at the names of the Baltimore Ravens‘ jerseys this week, especially on offense, because the team will be almost unrecognizable. They will face-off against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night without their main offensive weapons, after the injury bug claimed both Joe Flacco and Justin Forsett in Week 11. Will the backups be able to step in and produce in their absence?
Running back Forsett suffered a broken arm last week, which will keep him out for the rest of the season. In the final drive of that game, Flacco suffered a season-ending ACL tear, which leaves the Ravens without two of their most important offensive weapons. It will now be up to rookie Javorius Allen and veteran Matt Schaub to get the job done.
The Ravens currently sit at 3-7 and these injuries certainly don’t help the matter. They have suffered some terrible luck this season and have pretty much kissed any playoff hopes goodbye. The Browns are currently on a five-game losing streak, with their last win being against the Ravens in Week 6. Johnny Manziel has started the past couple games for the Browns, but didn’t produce the way the Browns were hoping. They’ve announced that McCown will be starting this week against the Ravens, which could fair well for Cleveland, considering the success he experienced in Week 6 in Baltimore. He lit up the Ravens’ secondary, throwing for 457 yards and two touchdowns, and leading his team to a 33-30 win.
I foresee this being another close game between these AFC North rivals. The Ravens will pull off the victory on the road and improve their record to 4-7, dropping the Browns to 2-9.
Prediction: Ravens 27, Browns 23
