The Cleveland Browns snapped their five-game losing streak on Sunday and handed their division rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, their third loss of the season. The Browns now move to 2-6, while their division opponents move to 5-3.
The Browns, who came into this game as heavy home underdogs, with the Ravens being favored with a -7.5 spread, beat the odds and got a much-needed victory. Cleveland had nothing to lose with a 1-6 record entering Week 8 and without their starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, who suffered a ruptured Achilles last week in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Because of the loss of Watson, the Browns handed the keys to quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston, the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, did enough to lead his team to victory and is first as a starter this season.
