The Cleveland Browns (coming off a win against Detroit) face the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial Sunday Night Football AFC North rivalry matchup. The Ravens are 4-point favorites at home.

The Browns struggled offensively last week despite beating the winless Lions. While Cleveland leads the league in yards per carry, their passing game with Baker Mayfield has been ineffective. They'll need a more balanced offensive attack to compete with Baltimore.

The Ravens also had an underwhelming offensive showing last week against Chicago, though this was largely due to Lamar Jackson missing the game with illness. Backup QB Tyler Huntley managed to lead a late touchdown drive for the win. Jackson is expected to return this week, though his recent illness could potentially impact his dual-threat capabilities.

Key Factors:

• Browns must contain Lamar Jackson, either forcing him to stay in the pocket or commit to running
• Ravens' offensive rhythm with Jackson returning from illness will be crucial
• Cleveland needs improved passing game to open up their strong running attack
• Baltimore aims to extend their AFC North division lead
