Ravens Dominate Browns 41-17 in Flacco's Baltimore Return

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Cleveland Browns 41-17 in a decisive game highlighted by the Ravens' dominant defense and special teams. Joe Flacco, making his first return to Baltimore since being traded, struggled with two critical turnovers that led directly to Ravens touchdowns, contributing to the Browns' offensive woes despite his 199 passing yards. The Ravens' defense forced multiple turnovers and limited Derrick Henry to just 24 rushing yards, while linebacker Roquan Smith scored on a fumble recovery, and cornerback Nate Wiggins made a key interception. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, though pressured heavily by Browns' defensive line and sacked multiple times by Myles Garrett, accounted for four touchdowns and was instrumental in the victory. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski acknowledged the team's mistakes but plans to keep Flacco as the starting quarterback, emphasizing team responsibility for the loss. Ravens coach John Harbaugh called the win a "great bounce back" and praised the defense for setting the tone throughout the game.
