Three Things We Learned in Win vs Browns

The Baltimore Ravens got their first win of the year in a commanding victory against their division rival Cleveland Browns, 41-17. Although the Ravens ended the game with a blowout on the scoreboard, the Browns were able to expose some weaknesses in the first half. Below are 3 things we learned as they take the practice field today in preparation for a Monday Night Football game next Monday against the 2-0 Detroit Lions.

1. Derrick Henry is Human

Derrick Henry had a great game 2024 campaign and started the year off against the Bills looking like he was going to pick up where he left off as he rushed for 169 yards against the Bills. The Browns defense was able to limit him this week as the Ravens handed the ball off to Henry 11 times and he ended the game with only 23 yards. The Ravens must be prepared to move forward to have a way to respond if Derrick Henry isn’t able to get in a rhythm. It looked like the offense was caught off guard by this and it took them out of their rhythm until the second half.

2. Deontez Walker Need to See the Field More

Second year wide receiver Deontez Walker had two touchdowns against the Browns. Walker has three receptions and with those three receptions he has three touchdowns.

EVERY PASS HE’S CAUGHT HAS BEEN A TOUCHDOW!

That is a wild stat, he’ll obviously not continue that trend as he sees the field more, but Deontez Walker has earned more playing time. The Ravens found yet another weapon on offense to leave opposing defenses guessing, “Who’s going to get the ball this time?”

3. Tavius Robinson Can Play

Tavius Robinson saw the field much more as Kyle Van Noy dealt with some injuries which limited his playing time. With this increased playing time, Robinson was able to notch his first sack of the year as he got to quarterback Joe Flacco. Robinson also finished third on the team with 6 tackles and 1 tackle for loss. At 6-6, 260, Robinson is a physical presence on the defense, and he earned himself more of a rotation on the defense.

The Ravens look to continue their momentum next Monday as they welcome Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions next Monday night at M&T Bank stadium.
