The Baltimore ravens will host the Cleveland Browns in Thursday Night Football action scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.
The Ravens are coming off emotional 31-30 Sunday night win over the Patriots, but Ray Lewis and company have beaten Cleveland eight straight times. The Browns are looking for anything positive after an 0-3 start, and Baltimore is a tough place to get one.
Quarterback Joe Flacco is off to a great start, leading the AFC with 913 passing yards. His favorite target has been tight end Dennis Pitta, who already has 18 receptions on the season. Second-year wideout Torrey Smith leads Baltimore in receiving yards with 235.
All-Pro tailback Ray Rice, who has compiled over 2,000 total yards in two of the last three seasons and already has three scores this year. Through three games in 2012, Rice is averaging 5.8 yards per carry and has seen a lot of running room behind his offensive line. The Ravens will continue to run their offense at a high tempo, though they will likely run the ball a little more than they have in the previous three weeks.
Ray Rice has had his best games against Cleveland. In Week 13 of the 2011 season, Rice ran for a career-high 204 yards during a win over the Browns.
The rookie duo of quarterback Brandon Weeden and running back Trent Richardson will try to lead a Browns offense that currently ranks 26th in the league in yardage.
Weeden's thrown six interceptions to three touchdowns, showing inconsistency despite a solid Week 2 game against Cincinnati (322 yards, two TDs).
