Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens – 1st Quarter discussion

Today, the Cleveland Browns take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season. The Browns (2-7) are coming off of another disappointing effort against the Jets, where two special teams touchdowns allowed in the opening frame dampened the whole mood and led to a loss. The Ravens (4-5) have ripped off three straight wins, showing just how easy it can be to get back in the hunt in the AFC North.

The last time these two teams met, a special teams play also led to the Browns’ early demise in what otherwise could have been a close affair. However, Cleveland does play different at home, where they are 2-2 as opposed to 0-5 on the road. The Browns pulled off upsets against their division rivals mid-way through last season, will the same be true for today?
