It’s a key event in what Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh calls “the best division in the NFL,” as the Cleveland Browns look to keep their momentum going into Sunday’s Week 10 game in the AFC North.

“It’s obviously Deshaun Watson,” Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen said. “They gave him all that money for a reason.”
Watson has been a disappointment to the Browns in almost every way and has yet to live up to the fully guaranteed $260 million contract he was given in the 2022 offseason as part of a blockbuster trade with the Houston Texans.
On top of all of Watson’s legal issues, there were injury issues. Overall, he has accounted for 902 yards and six touchdowns with three interceptions this season, so the Browns have managed to stay afloat with a 5-3 record.
Much of that is due to Cleveland’s winning defense, which has to contend with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, a leading MVP candidate since Baltimore got off to a 7-2 start.

He’s a great player,” Smith said. “But eventually he’ll come to our stadium, with our team, with our defense, with our fans, so that place will be.
