3 most insane things that happened in Browns-Ravens classic

2. The rushing touchdowns and lots of them

For anyone who didn’t know entering Monday night, the Ravens and Browns had the top two rushing offenses in the league. If they didn’t know before the game, they certainly knew after.

They combined for nine touchdowns on the ground and 68 points on the night. What’s interesting is how every time one of the players scored, the opposing offense felt the need to one-up them after contact.

Nick Chubb opened the game with a seven-yard touchdown run. That was followed up by back-to-back scores from Jackson and Gus Edwards.

After Edwards tacked on an 11-yard run, Chubb rebounded with a 14-yard score. That was met by Jackson scoring from 17 yards out.

You get the idea.

Mayfield’s run into a rock and roll guitar slide might be something Twitter finds enjoyable in the morning, but fans of run-heavy offense and great offensive line play were in love with both John Harbaugh’s and Kevin Stefanski’s play design. What it showed is how multi-tooled both teams can be with strong plays in the trenches or quality passes through the air.

One-dimensional teams won’t last in the postseason against defenses like Indianapolis or Pittsburgh. While one team won, both walked away knowing with the right game plan, one of them could upset the AFC playoff picture.
