The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Cleveland Browns on Saturday afternoon. The Ravens won 35-10 over the Browns at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
With the win, the Ravens concluded their regular season with a 12-5 record. Baltimore is locked into the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoff picture after winning the AFC North.
The Ravens will be playing next weekend during Wild Card weekend. However, at press time, their opponent has been yet to be determined.
The Browns fell to 3-14 with the loss. Their regular season is over and they will have one of the top picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Barring a change in heart, the Browns are expected to keep head coach Kevin Stefanski. We reported that would be the case following an NFL Network report before the New Year.
