Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Enjoying a bit of Steelers shodfreuda as I type this-it’s always sweet to see the picked-on kid punch the bully in the mouth. Over and over again.

To The Game!

Browns/Ravens:

-Both these teams come in hurting a bit and will come out of it hurting more. Such is life in the AFC North.

-The Browns seem the more fortunate team here in that LT Conklin is back as well as rb Hunt. That great ground game is leveling up.

-That said, the Ravens defend the run game very well. What they don’t do well is defend the tight end-players have gone off for 678(!) yards and 6 TD’s against them so keep an eye out for Hooper and Njoku.

-Weird! Cleveland gets a bye next week and after that they play the…you guessed it…the Ravens again.

-Lamar! was being touted as an MVP candidate (because it always has to go to a qb, right?) but his offense hasn’t scored more than 17 points in two of the last three games.

-That might have something to do with the Ravens having employed near 1/2 the leagues total of rb’s. The next guy whose career was nearly dead in the water is Devonta Freeman. He’s acquitted himself quite well with 272 yards and 3 TD’s in a short period of time. He should get a half-decent paycheck next year.

-Ravens are 7-3 but it seems a bit precarious when you consider they’ve scraped out wins against the Lions and Bears, oh my!

Enjoy yourself.
