The Cleveland Browns open AFC North divisional play on Sunday when they take on the Baltimore Ravens.
It will be a homecoming for Cleveland quarterback Joe Flacco, who spent 11 seasons with Baltimore but will be making his first start in the stadium since 2018.
The Ravens, because they are a garbage franchise, will use the game as a celebration of 30 years in Baltimore after the franchise moved from Cleveland after the 1995 season.
Both the Browns and Ravens are coming off disappointing losses and will be desperate to avoid an 0-2 start to the season.
