Heading into Sunday's matchup vs. the Cleveland Browns, many viewed the Baltimore Ravens led by Lamar Jackson as the best team in the NFL. They entered the day with a 7-2 record and in first place in the AFC North. Jackson was even looked at as a top MVP candidate.
Some now have a different view on the Ravens and Jackson after today's loss to the Browns. The Ravens were handed their third loss of the season as the Browns defeated the Ravens, 33-31, overcoming a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit.
Baltimore got up to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and led 17-9 at halftime. They scored the first touchdown of the third quarter as Odell Beckham Jr. went 40 yards for a score before the Browns matched them with a touchdown. The Ravens went up 31-17 in the fourth quarter when running back Gus Edwards scored a touchdown.
That's when the Browns scored back-to-back touchdowns before kicker Dustin Hopkins nailed the game-winning field goal as time expired.
