The Browns–Ravens rivalry is a longstanding NFL competition between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. This divisional matchup is rooted in the history of the original Cleveland Browns franchise relocating to Baltimore in 1996, which created a natural and intense rivalry when the Browns were reactivated in 1999.
This rivalry is notable for its competitive and often defensive battles within the AFC North division. Games between these two teams are typically hard-fought and have significant implications for the divisional standings and playoff positioning, making each encounter highly anticipated by fans.
Recently, the rivalry has been in the news due to a game featuring several key storylines. The Ravens' defense was highlighted for its dominant performance, which included a record-setting individual display and effectively contained the Browns' offensive efforts. The game also marked the NFL debut of a highly-touted Browns rookie quarterback, while Cleveland's starting quarterback was sidelined due to injury, adding further narrative to the contest.
