Ravens' No. 3 run game faces Browns line that leads NFL in sacks allowed

The Baltimore Ravens (4-1), with the NFL's third-ranked run game and without Lamar Jackson, visit the Cleveland Browns (3-2), who rank 18th against the run, on Sunday, October 18, at 1:00 PM ET at Huntington Bank Field.

Baltimore runs for 164.4 yards a game, and Derrick Henry has 476 of them with seven rushing touchdowns. Cleveland allows 117.4 on the ground, so Henry should get his carries. The Browns are stronger against the pass, where they rank fourth in efficiency.

The other pairing sits on Cleveland's offensive line. The Browns have taken 3.8 sacks a game, the most in the league, and score 18.6 points a game, 28th. Baltimore sacks passers only twice a game, 23rd, so its pass rush has not yet shown it can exploit that.

Jackson is out with an ankle injury. In his four starts he threw for 967 yards and six touchdowns with one interception. Center Cam Jurgens is also out with a concussion, as is defensive tackle Broderick Washington Jr. with an ankle injury.

Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson has 1,010 passing yards and seven touchdowns in five starts. Wide receiver Denzel Boston has three touchdown catches, and Zay Flowers leads Baltimore with 405 receiving yards.

The Browns' injury report is longer on defense. Linebacker Carson Schwesinger and defensive tackle Mason Graham, who has four sacks, are questionable, as is running back Quinshon Judkins. Guard Teven Jenkins is out with a back injury.

Baltimore has won four of its last five, including 41-23 at Indianapolis. Cleveland's two recent losses were 34-10 at Jacksonville and 17-12 at the New York Jets. Sportsbooks' prices give the Ravens a 61% chance to win.
