When the Cleveland Browns play the Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday, they will have even more incentive to try to improve their AFC North record to 2-1.
Roquan Smith, star linebacker with the Baltimore Ravens, gave Browns some food for thought. He said
“You go in there as the enemy to go take over and that’s our plan,” Smith said. “I think they call it a ‘dog pound’ … I consider myself a dog so I’m right at home in that place …
“I know they’re a physical football team but so are we, and at the end of the day it’s gonna be the most physical football team that comes out victorious.”
“We going over to beat their tails in front of their wife and kids.”

Can Browns Use This to Motivate Themselves?
You can be sure that Myles Garrett and other men will use this as incentive. In last week’s 22-19 OT loss to the Colts, Smith recorded 12 tackles (four solo), a half-sack, and a pass deflection.
To begin the season, Smith has been among the finest linebackers and players overall in football. He has led a strong Baltimore defense with 33 tackles in three games, 1.5 sacks, and two tackles for loss.
Deshaun Watson, the quarterback for the Browns, had his best game as a Brown last week, completing 27 of 33 throws for 289 yards and two touchdowns. He will need to be at the top of his game to stop him.
He also demonstrated his tenacity by absorbing a number of significant hits, which is why his right throwing shoulder is hurting, but he is still anticipated to play when Cleveland plays the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
After two unimpressive outings to start the season, Watson’s performance helped to quell some of the criticism he had been receiving. Watson has completed 65 of 102 throws (63.7%) for 678 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions through three games.
We can’t wait for Sunday to come soon enough!!
