BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens lost more than sole possession of first place in the AFC North. They also lost the pride of what has been one of the traditionally strong defenses.
In Sunday's 40-25 loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens gave up 531 yards of offense in an embarrassing performance where receivers went uncovered deep downfield and running backs went untouched on long runs.
This marked the first time in the Ravens' 24-year existence that they've allowed over 500 yards in back-to-back games. The 40 points were the second-most allowed by Baltimore at home in the John Harbaugh era.
