Terrell Suggs and Company vs. Browns Offensive Line

There is not much to complain about from the Ravens defense against the Bills. However, if we are going to knit pick about one thing, it was the lack of a pass rush.

Here is something to keep in mind. Tyrod Taylor is a menace when he uses his legs as a weapon so it could have been a case that Dean Pees decided to contain Taylor rather than bring the rush. They wanted him to beat them through the air, and it resulted in just 95 yards passing.

Cleveland does have one of the best left tackles in the game in Joe Thomas. The 10-year pro has named to nine Pro Bowls and First Team All-Pro six times. However, the rest of the Browns offensive line is shaky and that is where Suggs and the rest of the pass rushers must take advantage.

McCown has some mobility to his game, but nowhere near the level of Taylor. Expect Pees to be more creative in his play calling and to be aggressive against the Browns.

The Baltimore Ravens need to win the majority of these matchups if they hope to start the season 2-0. NFL teams have a 63 percent chance of making the playoffs when winning the first two games. A win should be the result, but you will have to check in later in the week for our score prediction.
