Ravens Struggle in Week 8 Loss to Browns
Game Overview
The Ravens came into Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns riding a five-game win streak but fell 29-24 on the road.
Turning Point
With the Browns in field-goal range and the Ravens leading by one, Jameis Winston missed a throw that hit Kyle Hamilton in his stomach, but he bobbled it multiple times and didn’t come down with the interception. On the next play, Winston hit Cedric Tillman for a 38-yard touchdown behind Eddie Jackson to take a five-point lead.
Crucial Moments
The Ravens got the ball with 59 seconds remaining and drove deep into Cleveland territory but couldn’t get in the end zone.
Top Play
With the Ravens offense coming off two consecutive three-and-outs, Hamilton made it a lot easier for them. On third down for the Browns, Hamilton came screaming around the edge for a strip-sack of Jameis Winston, setting Baltimore up on Cleveland’s 25-yard line. Two plays later, the Ravens had their first lead of the day on an 11-yard pass from Lamar Jackson to Nelson Agholor shortly before halftime.
