The Baltimore Ravens delivered a defensive tour de force for three quarters against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in a 21-14 win last Sunday.
The Ravens were pitching a shutout until the fourth quarter and held on for the victory. The Browns get to deal with them next.
“We stopped the run, kept their running game in check, which is no easy task,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said during a conference call with the Cleveland media, “and we did not let them throw it over our heads. Those are probably the two things.”
That latter fact is key and one reason for that success comes courtesy of safety Eric Weddle.
