This is Monday Night Football?
Really?
A 2-8 Cleveland team against a 3-7 Baltimore team? What? Is there going to be a lot of talk about the upcoming NFL draft?
No, this won’t be one for the Greatest Hits albums, will it? Cleveland, which just promoted, and then demoted, quarterback Johnny Manziel, against Baltimore, which has lost quarterback Joe Flacco to injury. That leaves Jon Gruden and company to talk about Josh McCown vs. Matt Schaub.
It’s the third-worst Monday night matchup of all-time when the teams have played at least 10 games.
Losing has long been the thing in Cleveland, but Baltimore is new to it. The Ravens are the NFL’s first team to have its first 10 games decided by eight points or less. Sadly, Baltimore has lost seven of those games.
Besides Flacco, Baltimore is without running back Justin Forsette, wide receiver Steve Smith, first round draft pick Breshad Perrin and linebacker Terrell Suggs.
The Browns are the only team in the NFL to lose four games by at least 18 points.
Game time is 8:30 p.m.
