The Cleveland Browns can't run the football and they can't stop the run, so they aren't going to win many games in the NFL. That's why it is critical for the Ravens to run the ball against the Browns Sunday, and they will.
The Browns have the worst defense in the NFL and are ranked No. 31 in run defense, allowing 141.5 yards a game. They are also allowing 264.8 yards passing. The Ravens are expected to be without star receiver Steve Smith on Sunday so a suspect receiving group is expected to be weaker. With that in mind, the Browns will crowd the line of scrimmage with eight or nine in the box and dare the Ravens to throw over the top.
