Ravens Wide Receivers vs. Browns Secondary

Wallace headlined the receiving corps in Week 1, but they got solid contributions all around. Steve Smith caught five passes, Breshad Perriman made a highlight-reel catch down the sidelines and Kamar Aiken got into the mix with two catches of his own.

Joe Haden will man one side of the field and is still an above average cornerback. The other corners could be in for a long day as each week the Ravens can play matchups with their dynamic group of wide receivers.

Rookie Carson Wentz and Jordan Matthews had their way with the Browns secondary last week. Flacco and his receivers are better skill players and should exploit a questionable secondary. McCown might be licking his chops to play the Ravens again, but Flacco is looking to bounce back from an embarrassing loss last season.

If for some reason the Ravens get in another shootout with the Browns, the advantage goes to Baltimore. If Wentz can light them up in his first ever start, imagine what Flacco and his playmakers are capable of on Sunday.
