Head coach John Harbaugh said the team was preparing to see any of the three quarterbacks the Browns might play in Week 18.
“Well, we’ll have to build some tape on the guy that we don’t have tape on right now – Zappe,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll go back and pull some tape from New England and different places, but we won’t probably go back to Western Kentucky on him. But Winston we know, (Thompson-Robinson) we know, and then (Zappe) we’ll have to prepare for. But whichever way it goes, we’re playing the Browns, the Browns are playing the Ravens, and we’ll be ready to go.”
No matter who the Browns start at quarterback, the Ravens are expecting another tough matchup in their second game against Cleveland this season. Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, the Browns have continued to express their desire to finish the 2024 season with a win over their division rivals.
As they fight for a home playoff game and the division title, Baltimore knows Cleveland will give its best shot to play spoiler in the final game of the 2024 season.
“These guys are fighting for their livelihoods. They have jobs. They have families they have to take care of,” Smith said. “So, we know it’s not going to be anything light, but we’re preparing for whatever.”
