### **Shedeur Sanders may have nightmares about Baltimore's defense.**
The Browns' rookie quarterback got his first chance to play this season and opened the second half for Cleveland after Dillon Gabriel departed with a concussion. This was a moment many had been waiting for, to see Sanders in action, and the crowd gave him a loud ovation when he entered the game.
However, the Ravens' defense was also waiting for Sanders. His first possession ended when he was sacked by Hamilton on a blitz. Then, on Cleveland's next possession, Sanders airmailed a pass that became an easy interception for Nate Wiggins.
Cleveland got the ball right back for Sanders when linebacker Carson Schwesinger intercepted Lamar Jackson on the next play. But the Ravens kept coming after Sanders like he had stolen something from them. Rookie cornerback Keyon Martin sacked Sanders on a blitz, and it was clear that if the Ravens could somehow take the lead, they were likely to win.
Baltimore's defense has played lights out during the four-game winning streak. Chidobe Awuzie, the veteran cornerback who played a huge role in the game with Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey (finger) sidelined, had a huge pass breakup in the end zone when Cleveland threatened to score on its last drive. That was followed by a game-clinching pass breakup by Pro Bowl linebacker Roquan Smith.
This wasn't a pretty game for Baltimore's passing attack, as Jackson (14 of 25, 193 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions) was tormented by Cleveland's pass rush. All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett was brilliant, sacking Jackson four times, but Baltimore's defense held firm.
"The pass rush was incredible, especially in the second half," Head Coach John Harbaugh said. "We didn't give them a chance to breathe."
