The Ravens got enough from their defense to win in Cleveland, but their offense couldn't sustain an early advantage in a 13-10 loss to the Browns. Baltimore finished with 235 yards and 13 first downs, but the defense gave up five sacks and allowed a 10-0 lead.
The playing-time report highlighted Josh Cuevas' productive receiving role, Rashod Bateman's shortened afternoon, and a defensive rotation that generated pressure from several positions. Baltimore played 57 offensive snaps and 63 defensive snaps. Here is the position-by-position breakdown, with percentages taken from the supplied participation report.
Quarterback
Tyler Huntley: 57 snaps, 100%.
Huntley completed 19 of 31 passes for 165 yards and one touchdown without an interception. He added 28 rushing
yards on five attempts but took three sacks for 17 yards lost, leaving Baltimore with 148 net passing yards. He also recovered his own fumble. The Ravens converted six of 16 third downs, but the offense couldn't turn its early scoring into a sustained advantage.
Running backs
Derrick Henry: 33 snaps, 58%; Justice Hill: 24 snaps, 42%.
Henry rushed 17 times for 58 yards and caught one pass for two yards, but his lost fumble was Baltimore's only turnover. Hill caught all three targets for nine yards and had no rushing attempts. Henry's longest run covered 17 yards, while Baltimore finished with 87 rushing yards overall. Hill's 42% share produced little, and Henry's 3.4 yards per carry left the offense without consistent rushing gains.
Wide receivers
Zay Flowers: 50 snaps, 88%; Devontez Walker: 37 snaps, 65%; Ja'Kobi Lane: 31 snaps, 54%; Rashod Bateman: 17 snaps, 30%; LaJohntay Wester: 3 snaps, 5%.
Flowers caught six of 11 targets for 66 yards, including a 31-yard reception. Lane made four catches for 40 yards on five targets, providing useful production in just over half the offensive snaps. Walker played 65% of the offense but caught neither of his two targets. Bateman finished without a reception on one target before his shoulder injury shortened his afternoon. Walker's workload without a catch and Lane's production in fewer snaps were two of the report's clearest contrasts.
Tight ends
Mark Andrews: 41 snaps, 72%; Josh Cuevas: 23 snaps, 40%; Nick Vannett: 23 snaps, 40%.
Cuevas caught four of five targets for 44 yards and Baltimore's only touchdown, including a 29-yard reception that helped him finish second on the team in receiving yards. Andrews caught one of three targets for four yards despite leading the tight ends in playing time. Vannett had no targets. Cuevas' production on 40% of offensive snaps makes his usage worth monitoring, though one game doesn't establish a permanent change in the tight-end hierarchy.
Offensive line
Emery Jones, John Simpson, Ioane and Roger Rosengarten: 57 snaps each, 100%; Ronnie Stanley: 56 snaps, 98%; C. Vinson: 4 snaps, 7%.
Baltimore used essentially the same five linemen throughout, with Stanley missing one offensive snap. The continuity did not produce consistent rushing success: Henry averaged 3.4 yards per carry, and Huntley was sacked three times. The Browns also recorded nine quarterback hits and seven tackles for loss. Those totals describe the offense's difficulties but don't establish individual blocking responsibility, which requires a film review.
Defensive line
Nnamdi Madubuike: 49 snaps, 78%; Travis Jones: 34 snaps, 54%; Calais Campbell: 28 snaps, 44%; John Jenkins: 14 snaps, 22%; Aeneas Peebles: 6 snaps, 10%.
Madubuike finished with five tackles, a half-sack and two quarterback hits. Campbell added a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in 28 snaps, while Jones recorded four tackles. Cleveland averaged 3.2 yards on 29 rushing attempts and did not run for a gain longer than nine yards. The interior rotation helped keep the game manageable even as Baltimore's offense stalled.
Edge rushers
Trey Hendrickson: 39 snaps, 62%; Tavius Robinson: 31 snaps, 49%; Mike Green: 24 snaps, 38%; Zion Young: 25 snaps, 40%; Ethan Burke: 7 snaps, 11%.
Hendrickson recorded a sack, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit. Robinson supplied three tackles, a half-sack and a quarterback hit, while Young added three tackles and a quarterback hit. Green had two tackles. The rotation helped Baltimore generate five sacks and 10 quarterback hits without requiring Hendrickson to play close to every snap. Burke also played 18 special teams snaps (64%).
Inside linebackers
Roquan Smith: 63 snaps, 100%; Trenton Simpson: 37 snaps, 59%; Teddye Buchanan: 5 snaps, 8%.
Smith recorded five tackles, a sack, and two quarterback hits while playing every defensive snap. Simpson finished with eight tackles, tying Jaylinn Hawkins for the team lead despite playing 59% of the defense. Buchanan contributed two tackles and played 20 special teams snaps (71%). Simpson's tackle production stood out, but the participation report alone does not show which packages accounted for his time off the field.
Cornerbacks
Nate Wiggins: 63 snaps, 100%; Marlon Humphrey: 60 snaps, 95%; Keyon Martin: 24 snaps, 38%; Chidobe Awuzie: 3 snaps, 5%.
Wiggins recorded two tackles and a pass defended, while Humphrey had two tackles and two passes defended. Martin produced a sack, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hit and a pass defended in 24 snaps, giving Baltimore another source of pressure outside its front seven. Deshaun Watson finished with 164 passing yards and no touchdown passes. Jerry Jeudy caught four passes for 69 yards, but Cleveland's passing game remained limited overall.
Safeties
Malaki Starks: 63 snaps, 100%; Kyle Hamilton: 63 snaps, 100%; Jaylinn Hawkins: 55 snaps, 87%.
Starks recorded five tackles and a pass defended. Hamilton finished with seven tackles, six solo, and three tackles for loss. Hawkins contributed eight tackles. All three played at least 87% of the defensive snaps, showing how heavily Baltimore relied on its safeties. Hamilton's work behind the line of scrimmage was particularly valuable in a game where Cleveland struggled to create consistent rushing gains.
Special teams
Keondre Jackson and John Huggins each played 25 special teams snaps (89%), while Carl Jones played 17 (61%) and Chris Evans played 15 (54%). Rasheen Ali played 19 (68%) and averaged 21.5 yards on two kickoff returns. Wester played 10 special teams snaps (36%) and gained 15 yards on two punt returns.
Ryan Eckley punted seven times for a 49.4-yard average, placing three inside the 20. He and long snapper Nick Moore each played 10 special teams snaps (36%). Tyler Loop played six (21%) and made one of two field-goal attempts. The decisive offsides penalty on Cleveland's first late field-goal attempt remains the defining special teams mistake; participation totals alone don't identify responsibility for that penalty.
