Pros
- The Browns are a 6.5-point underdog in this week’s game, likely leading to a passing game script.
- The Cleveland Browns have run the 6th-most plays in football this year, totaling a colossal 64.5 plays per game.
- Opposing QBs have averaged 40.5 pass attempts per game versus the Baltimore Ravens defense this year: 5th-most in football.
- The Cleveland Browns O-line ranks as the 2nd-best in the NFL this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a strong effect on all pass attack stats across the board.

- THE BLITZ projects the Browns to run the least plays on offense on the slate this week with 61.0 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects Jacoby Brissett to attempt 32.6 passes in this contest, on average: the 6th-least of all quarterbacks.
- The Baltimore Ravens safeties grade out as the 9th-best unit in the NFL this year in pass coverage.
