Oh its just the Cleveland Browns, no biggie! Right?

On Monday Night Football the Baltimore Ravens are going to Cleveland to take on the stagnant Browns. Looking at both team's records you would think the an average team will be facing off against a horrible team. That is not the case here.

The Ravens offense is rolling on all cylinders this year except when they face a defense that can consistently get in Joe Flacco's face. The Browns are not one of those teams. The Ravens are currently ranked 10th in the league for offensive yards gained per game. Ray Rice is a dual threat that can smash a defense running through the A gap or catch a pass out the backfield and run up the sidelines. Flacco still has pass threats Todd Heap and Derrick Mason but this year Kelley Washington, nine year veteran, has stepped up and become a consistent third down conversion man from the slot.

The defense has been inconsistent so far this year but I think they will show up and look good on Monday because of the offense they are playing against.

The Browns offense's inability to develop productivity is mostly to blame on not having one quarterback they trust to lead their offense to success. One week they have Derek Anderson starting he plays a pathetic game and a week later they choose Brady Quinn to start. They have been doing this all year. At the reciever position they traded their best option away to the Jets. So now they have Mohammed Massaquoi who can get open for the big play but will not do it on a consistent basis. This is probably the only thing the Ravens' "D" should seriously pay attention to because the run game will not be a challenge to the front seven.

Their leading rusher is former Raven first round pick Jamal Lewis. He is aging and declining so he will not be a threat the Ravens have to worry about.

Their defense has some good players like D'Qwell Jackson, Eric Barton and Shawn Rogers on their roster but two of those three are done for the season. The worst ranked defense in the Nfl will be disected by Flacco and his variety of weapons. Ray Rice will run wild and when the Browns defense puts eight in the box, Flacco will unleash the deep ball.

If the Ravens score points and do not turn over the ball, they will take home a "W". They need this divsion win to stay with the teams in the wildcard run. The Browns are not good enough to push around the Ravens like the Bengals did.
