Ravens games live q-and-a

3rd & 7 37yd

If Browns don't stack the line of scrimmage they can't handle the Ravens up front. The Ravens have already started wearing them down.

Lamar Jackson scores his second rushing touchdown of the day, a career high. Ravens lead 17-7.

The Ravens beat the Chargers with "only" 159 rushing yards. Today, they're already up to 129.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:08:02 PM
So maybe Lamar Jackson doesn't set the NFL record. But the Ravens are on pace for 500-plus rushing yards, which would smash the 84-year-old record of 426 that Detroit set vs. Pittsburgh.

Ravens pass rush gets to Baker Mayfield on third down and forces an errant pass. Jarvis Landry had Tavon Young beaten on the play.

The #Ravens rushed for 121 yards in the 1st quarter. That's the most rushing yards Baltimore has had in ANY quarter… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Kenneth Dixon's stiff arm is a weapon of mass destruction.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:19:02 PM
Kenneth Dixon already has a career high with four carries for 73 yards. His previous best was 59 yards, and that took all four quarters.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:20:54 PM
Penalty derails the Ravens' drive, but Justin Tucker is good from 35 yards and extends the lead to 20-7.

Ravens are dominating in total yardage (251-135) and time of possession (16:09-7:40).

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:25:04 PM
There's 6:11 left in the first half here and the Ravens have already rushed for 182 yards. Browns run defense is as advertised. #ravens

Maxx Williams just had the holding penalty, but he has sat on a couple of dudes in white jerseys today. Another big block here.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:26:56 PM
That'll probably be an interception. Jimmy Smith entered today with no picks. He has two in under two quarters.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:32:11 PM
The Browns have lost all three games in which Baker Mayfield's thrown two or more interceptions.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:33:28 PM
The Ravens just tried to give Maxx Williams a rushing touchdown. Didn't work!

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:34:38 PM
James Hurst comes off the field. He's limping on the sideline. Bradley Bozeman in for the Ravens.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:38:42 PM
Lamar Jackson with the hat trick -- three rushing touchdowns. Refs rule he broke the plane with the ball. Upon further review, I don't think he did.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:39:47 PM
A wild trend: Including today's first-quarter drive, the #Ravens offense has taken the field four times the past th… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Refs rule that Lamar Jackson did not get in. The Browns take over at the 7-yard line. Ravens are lucky as hell that the refs called the play dead when they did.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:42:33 PM
In a sense, the Ravens got a big break there. The case could be made that the whistle blew before the recovery, which would have given them the ball back. But if the play had been called correctly, the Browns would have scored a touchdown. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 12/30/2018 10:44:22 PM
The Ravens could've all but put the game away with a touchdown. But they went for a Maxx Williams carry and a Lamar Jackson goal-line leap. OK.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:44:26 PM
The Browns have one drive of longer than four plays. That's not gonna work.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:45:20 PM
Meanwhile, at Heinz Field ...

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:46:23 PM
Marlon Humphrey has not had a good game. Which is something you haven't heard said very often this year.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 10:54:01 PM
Browns kicker Greg Joseph pushes a 46-yard field-goal attempt wide left, and the Ravens lead 20-7 at halftime. They should be up by more.

Presenting, a two-act play: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dvs0jLGWkAIhfqa.jpg

Ravens scored on their first four possesions. They've since gone goal-line fumble, five-and-out, five-and-out.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:13:01 PM
Baker Mayfield finds Jarvis Landry for a 48-yard touchdown, and the lead is dodwn to 20-14. Tavon Young with some "WTF just happened" body language.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:16:29 PM
The #Ravens have been terrific at preventing big plays this season. Not today. Their communication on the back end has been sub-par.

Lamar Jackson has had his third rushing touchdown taken away twice, both times by the officials. Maxx Williams guilty -- and I use that word lightly -- of holding on a 33-yard score.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:23:54 PM
That was a weak holding call on Maxx Williams to wipe out another Lamar Jackson TD.

by Childs Walker via twitter 12/30/2018 11:23:59 PM
As if the Browns' rushing defense couldn't get any worse, top defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi just left the game after a head-to-head hit with his own teammate.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:25:13 PM
Like me in basketball, I think Kenneth Dixon is only capable of going right. But he's much more effective, trust me.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:27:34 PM

Sack ends Ravens drive, but Justin Tucker makes it a two-score game with a 44-yard field goal. He's 3-for-3 today.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:31:20 PM
For those wondering, the #Ravens team record for rushing yards in a game is 343 against Cleveland on Sept. 14, 2003… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Ravens get what they need most: a three-and-out. They'll take over at their 21.

Marlon Humphrey has ended a few wins this year with big plays. He's kept alive a few Browns drive today with bad plays.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:44:28 PM
Greg Joseph's 35-yard field goal is good. We're back to a one-score game: Ravens 23, Browns 17.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:50:56 PM
What a world where Hayden Hurst is making plays and Marlon Humphrey isn't.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/30/2018 11:55:02 PM
Justin Tucker is 4-for-4 after a 23-yard field goal, and the Ravens lead, 26-17. Browns have 7:20 remaining to break some hearts.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/31/2018 12:05:13 AM
Also, potential incentives for a few Ravens players, a career high for Kenneth Dixon, a greeting for Breshad Perriman that he probably expected and extra points.

by Edward Lee via twitter 12/31/2018 12:09:48 AM
Antonio Callaway scores on a pick play, and the Ravens' lead is down to 26-24 with 3:24 remaining. Browns have two timeouts.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/31/2018 12:16:44 AM
Steelers lead 16-13 with 1:56 remaining. If the lead holds, the Ravens will need to do the same.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 12/31/2018 12:19:55 AM
Ravens try a speed option and almost turn it over. The Browns will settle for the three-and-out. Cleveland will get the ball with under two minutes remaining.
