The Ravens travel to Cleveland Dec. 22 with a chance to clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC and avenge their last loss, and that game was on the mind of head coach John Harbaugh as he held his weekly Monday news conference Dec. 16.
"We'll have to play a lot better than we did in that game, obviously, to hold them down," Harbaugh said, referring to the Browns' 40-25 win at M&T Bank Stadium Sept. 29. That was the most points the Ravens have allowed in a game this season.
The Browns totaled 530 yards of offense in that game, the second straight game in which the Ravens yielded more than 500 yards of offense after Kansas City totaled 503 the week before. That marked the first time in franchise history that the Ravens allowed more than 500 yards in back-to-back games.
