Apparently, the Cleveland Browns aren’t worried about giving the Baltimore Ravens bulletin board material ahead of their Week 2 matchup.
The Browns are coming off a heartbreaking Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. They had the chance to take a late lead, but Andre Szmyt missed a field goal from 36 yards out. It was a disappointing result, especially since Cleveland’s defense held Joe Burrow to just 113 passing yards and a touchdown.

The Ravens may have suffered an even worse season-opening loss last Sunday. Despite having a 40-25 lead, they were unable to slow down Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in crunch time.
Both the Browns and Ravens are hoping to avoid an 0-2 start to the season. With that said, fans should expect to see a lot of urgency during this Sunday’s rivalry game. Although the Ravens didn’t need extra motivation, they got some this Thursday.
During a press conference this afternoon, Browns safety Grant Delpit was asked how difficult it is to tackle Ravens running back Derrick Henry. He replied, “Not hard.”

Delpit might have to eat his own words.
Henry had 211 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries during his two games against the Browns last season.
If you thought Henry would take a step back in his 10th season, think again. He played well against the Bills in Week 1, rushing for 169 yards and two touchdowns.
There’s an awful good chance Henry runs wild against Cleveland’s defense, and if he gets to that second level, Delpit could be in trouble.
