BALTIMORE, MD. — The Cleveland Browns failed to perform in their NFL national Sunday Night Football showcase at M&T Bank Stadium, losing to the Baltimore Ravens, 16-10.
Shockingly, the Browns’ four interceptions of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson wasn’t enough to get a much-needed win on the road. The Browns fell to 6-6.
The offense struggled to do much with Jackson’s four picks, gaining just 262 yards of total offense. Baker Mayfield completed 18 of 35 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown, but lost a fumble.
Baltimore’s defense held the Browns to just 40 yards rushing on 17 carries.
The two teams will meet again in two weeks in Cleveland. The Ravens are in Pittsburgh this week and the Browns have a bye.
Here’s a look at our favorite photos from Sunday night’s Browns-Ravens game.
Ravens defenders celebrating their stop of the Browns’ fourth down conversion attempt while Mayfield walks off the field sums up the game in one photo for me.
I was shooting a series of photographs of Mayfield handing the football off to running back Nick Chubb in the first quarter anticipating a big run game from Chubb. This hand off was a foreshadowing of the Browns’ run game Sunday night. Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen was already in the backfield on a blitz before Mayfield could deliver the ball to Chubb.
The pregame spotlight found Browns receiver Jarvis Landry on the field watching as the Ravens’ defense was introduced at M&T Bank Stadium with fan wrist lights glowing in the stands.
Tight end David Njoku’s classic spike was one of the few highlights for Cleveland fans in the game.
This photo surprised me in the editing room at M&T Bank Stadium. Myles Garrett’s hand hits Jackson’s wrist on a pass attempt but Jackson somehow got enough power on the throw to connect on a touchdown reception to his tight end, Mark Andrews.
This small patch of Browns fans, watching their team give the ball up on downs to lose the game as Ravens fans cheer around them, looked how I imagine many Browns fans back home felt.
I guess one touchdown celebration is better than none at all.
Kudos to Landry for leaving it all on the field every game. He took a hard hit here by Ravens safety Chuck Clark.
A highlight of the night was the Browns’ defensive takeaways -- on full display here after an intercepted pass by free safety John Johnson.
There wasn’t much Mayfield could do but look on as the Ravens recovered this fumbled ball.
This is one of those frames you wish you had from the other side of the field, as Ronnie Harrison hovers just above the ground intercepting a pass. I still like the moment here, but would love it if I could see Harrison’s face.
Mayfield took a brutal hit to the head here by Justin Houston. I was expecting a roughing the passer call on the play. What about you?
