Half-Time Report: Baltimore Ravens hold four-point lead over Cleveland Browns

Ravens hold four-point lead over Browns

The Baltimore Ravens have taken a four-point lead into half time in their AFC North clash against the Cleveland Browns.

The visitors were the first on the scoreboard when Kaelin Clay collected a punt from Andy Lee and made four defenders miss tackles before he raced all the way to the endzone for an 82-yard touchdown.

Baltimore extended their lead as Matt Schaub moved his side into field-goal range before Justin Tucker sent his kick through the posts from 49 yards, but Travis Coons brought the Browns back within seven with a 31-yarder.

However, from the ensuing kickoff Coons put his kick out of bounds down the sideline, allowing the Ravens to begin at their 40-yard line rather than the 20. Schaub took his side into the redzone and then threw a short pass to Javorius Allen for a 13-yard score.

Josh McCown rallied the Browns and displayed good athleticism to escape the pocket and throw a three-yard strike to Marlon Moore for a touchdown.

The Ravens made a stand just before the break to hold the Browns to a field goal, which was converted by Coons, after McCown had thrown three incompletions on the goalline.
