There's no question the unbeaten Ravens are far from a perfect team.
But when they get to play such an imperfect team as the Cleveland Browns twice a year, it masks a lot of Baltimore's ills.
The Ravens' come-from-behind 25-20 Week Two win at FirstEnergy Stadium Sept. 18 was a tribute to patience, fortitude and recently deceased defensive line coach Clarence Brooks.
But it also came about due to ill-timed mistakes by the Browns, who couldn't stand the prosperity the huge early lead had given them. It is a trend that has bailed out the slow-starting Ravens in both of their games so far this year.
