Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens
While the Browns are out of the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens can still make it in with a little help from the Chiefs.
Cleveland is limping into this game with both Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer out, while trotting out recently signed rookie quarterback Connor Shaw. Oh, and Manziel missed treatment and a team meeting.
Well, that’s understating it actually. According to CBSSports.com’s Jason LaCanfora, the team had to send a security team to find him. Bleacher Report’s Matt Bowen says veterans on the team are tired of his act and want him to “act like a pro.”
Meanwhile, Josh Gordon was suspended for the Week 17 game according to ESPN.com. The hope around the organization was that his ten week suspension would finally be the thing which woke him up. But despite his talent, his off-field issues keep getting in the way and the Browns are tired of it.
There’s a game going on too, by the way.
The Ravens will have to hope Joe Flacco can carry the day, as the run game is stumbling a little now. The Ravens defense has been OK the last few weeks as well. Given how chaotic the Browns are right now, this is a game the Ravens should win.
Then they have to hope for some help from the Chiefs to make the playoffs.
