The Cleveland Browns have not had much success over the years when they face the Baltimore Ravens.

Just 15 wins in 54 previous tries against the Ravens does not bode well for the good guys, although there are a few things that are working in Cleveland’s favor.

The first is that nine of those 15 wins have come at home.

The second is that the Browns have been historically good at limiting Baltimore running back Derrick Henry. In the nine times they have matched up – five with Tennessee and four with the Ravens

– the Browns have held Henry under 60 rushing yards five times.

Finally, the Browns will be facing quarterback Tyler Huntley instead of Lamar Jackson. No matter how well Huntley has played when Jackson has been injured – and he has played very well – not having to chase Jackson around all afternoon is a plus for the Browns.
