Browns<\/a> pass rusher Myles Garrett<\/a> recorded 1.5 sacks during Sunday’s 41-17 loss to the Ravens<\/a>, meaningful production in his eyes during an otherwise forgettable performance from Cleveland’s defense.<\/p>\n

“I mean, the s*** is embarrassing,” Garrett said after the Browns allowed 31 second-half points<\/a>. “We got to be better on defense. We got to be better as a team. They slowly chipped away and we did a solid job, holding them to three when we could, and then eventually the dam broke and they just did whatever they wanted, and we have to continue to play a 60-minute game.”<\/p>\n

The Ravens scored on all four possessions in the second half, excluding their end-of-game kneel in the closing seconds. Two of Lamar Jackson’s<\/a> four touchdown passes came during the fourth quarter, including a 24-yard strike to Devontez Walker<\/a> that put it away at 27-10 with 13:26 to play.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, Roquan Smith’s<\/a> 63-yard fumble return for a score left Cleveland’s offense in shambles for the second straight week, an 0-2 start that doesn’t sit well with Garrett. The Browns dropped to 6-11 against the Ravens since Garrett joined the team in 2017 as the No. 1 overall pick.<\/p>\n

Garrett is a six-time Pro Bowler over that stretch and now has 106 sacks in 119 career games. Heading into the Week 2 battle with a division rival, Garrett sounded like the Browns were taking it personal as a 11.5-point underdog in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

“I thought it was 12.5 last I checked,” Garrett said, per\u00a0The Athletic’s Zac Jackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game he was not considering a quarterback change. Joe Flacco finished 25 of 45 for 199 yards and two turnovers, his one touchdown passing coming in the fourth quarter on a throw that\u00a0Marlon Humphrey<\/a>\u00a0should have intercepted.<\/p>\n

“We gave them 21 points via a blocked punt, a fumble recovery and an interception. It’s just hard to win,” Stefanski said. “It’s hard to win, period, but it’s hard to win when you do that. We’ll own it.”<\/p>\n

Flacco threw a touchdown pass and two interceptions during Cleveland’s Week 1 loss to the Bengals<\/a>. The offense came up empty on five possessions in the fourth quarter \u2014 including a missed field goal \u2014 with the Browns trailing 17-16 throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett recorded 1.5 sacks during Sunday’s 41-17 loss to the Ravens, meaningful production in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":370111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[1990,117,86,85,54,37866,2337,1033,7,562,1304,6,45797,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-370110","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-afc-north","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-browns","11":"tag-cleveland","12":"tag-cleveland-browns","13":"tag-cleveland-browns-quarterback","14":"tag-clevelandbrowns","15":"tag-dillon-gabriel","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-joe-flacco","18":"tag-myles-garrett","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-nfl-standings","21":"tag-shedeur-sanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115208658937269962","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
