The Ravens' record is 8-3; the Browns' is 4-7. But Baltimore has struggled to beat weaker opponents on the road.
Let's be honest. Ravens fans don't feel very confident heading into this weekend's game against the 4-7, last-place Cleveland Browns.
How could we? For whatever reason—and players insist it's not a lack of focus—something happens when the Ravens play the NFL's least impressive teams. And another team's fans to the northwest have noticed the trend.
Yeah the ravens beat the 49ers, not impressed. Watch they lose against the browns. #1 and done

If the Ravens do indeed travel to Cleveland and pull out a victory, that will go part of the way toward removing that odd asterisk from what is an otherwise impressive season.
