The Cleveland Browns will look to get back on the winning track on Sunday when they host the Baltimore Ravens.

The Browns have lost five of their past six games and have entered the all-too-familiar phase of the season where they try to play spoiler for their opponent. The Ravens, on the other hand, have gotten their act together as their health has improved, and won three consecutive games to re-enter the playoff race.
