After a remarkable performance against the Arizona Cardinals, Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns defense are gearing up for their next challenge: a matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

This victory marked the Browns’ first shutout since 2007, and Garrett was thrilled with the accomplishment, stating, “It feels great. Haven’t had a shutout in a while and it was a perfect opportunity.” He emphasized the team’s commitment to playing up to their defensive standards.
The Ravens are riding high with a 7-2 record after a convincing 37-3 win against the Seattle Seahawks, where they amassed 298 rushing yards, led by Keaton Mitchell. Garrett eagerly anticipates facing their AFC North rivals, acknowledging the Ravens’ talent, high-powered offense, and versatility that makes the challenge exciting.
In the game against the Cardinals, the Browns’ defense put on an exceptional performance, securing seven sacks from six different players and forcing three turnovers. Garrett, known for being in the spotlight, praised the collective effort of the team, highlighting that it’s not a one-man show but a result of every player’s contributions.
Looking ahead to the Ravens matchup, it is seen as a crucial litmus test for the Browns this season. With Deshaun Watson back in the lineup, the Browns have an opportunity to make a significant statement. Watson expressed their confidence by saying, “There’s no ceiling, sky’s wide open,” emphasizing their determination to keep stacking wins and not setting limitations.
The Browns enter the Ravens matchup as 5-point road underdogs, making it an intriguing and highly anticipated contest.
