Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens - Watson vs. Jackson: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The Ravens host the Browns on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in a matchup where both Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson are finally healthy. Baltimore and Cleveland are very similar - aside from the fact they both technically originated in Cleveland.
Both teams have built strong defenses and rely on a star quarterback. For Baltimore, Jackson has been healthy and an integral part of the Ravens' success this season. The same can't be said for the Browns and Watson, but he's expected to be back on the field on Sunday.
“Deshaun is a playmaker,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s going to do it on time with the rhythm passing and the quick game. He can do it with play-action — the boots and the play-action stuff off of their zone run game — and then he can do it as far as extending the play.”
Lamar Jackson (L) and Deshaun Watson
The Ravens beat the Browns 28-3 back in Week 4, in a game Watson missed. Jackson and Watson have matched up twice when Watson was in Houston, with Jackson winning both times, 41-7 in 2019, and 33-16 in 2020.
The Browns' suffocating defense has tallied the three lowest yardage totals of the season, while the Ravens' defense has registered the No. 5 lowest yardage total, holding the Seahawks to just 151 yards in a 37-3 win last week.
“They’re very talented," Watson said. “I mean, they know exactly what they want to do. A lot of guys played a lot of football, a lot of depth in that defense, and they make you earn everything.”
