Lions hand Vikings first loss, Russell Wilson cooks in Steelers debut
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the top storylines from Week 7 in the NFL.
Sports Seriously
Two AFC North teams headed in opposite directions will clash this week the Baltimore Ravens (5-2) visiting the Cleveland Browns (1-6).
Is Lamar Jackson really going to win his third MVP award? He’s playing like it after he put on another big-time performance on “Monday Night Football” against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Ravens are on a five-game win streak and look like the best team in football as we reach closer to the midway point of the season.
As if the season wasn’t already in shambles, Cleveland lost Deshaun Watson for the season due to an Achilles injury. The Browns have lost five straight and the offense has yet to score at least 20 points this season in what appears to be a lost season.

Lorenzo Reyes: Ravens 35, Browns 13
It’s hard to see the Browns hanging in with this Baltimore team dominating every opponent it faces on the ground. If you want a better indication of where Cleveland will be with its quarterback situation, waiting until later in the week will offer clarification. I don’t think it matters. I think the Ravens roll here.
Tyler Dragon: Ravens 31, Browns 20
The Ravens are playing like the best team in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Browns are performing like the worst team in the conference. Deshaun Watson is out for the year for a Browns team that’s going nowhere. Baltimore will cruise against its AFC North rival. The Ravens have the top offense in the NFL.
Richard Morin: Ravens 27 Browns 14
Jameis Winston may be an improvement over Deshaun Watson for this beleaguered Browns offense, but they still can’t compete against a Ravens squad that is arguably the NFL’s best.
Jordan Mendoza: Ravens 31, Browns 12
Baltimore looks like the best team in the NFL while Cleveland looks like one of the worst. This shouldn’t be a close game unless Cleveland can score some garbage time points.
