On one dramatic, unforgettable play, the two Ravens achieved their goals. Then, there was the final play of the contest. Gilbert has been a major disappointment for the Browns, who selected him with the No. 8 overall pick in 2014. “After being out so long, it’s insane”. “I just wanted to drive out low and stick my hand out and just wait for the play to happen”.

Baltimore Ravens safety Will Hill gave up the tying touchdown in the fourth quarter Monday night, but he atoned for that error in a big way.
“I was desperate and frustrated at the same time”, Hill said. The Ravens suffered another key injury last week as running back Justin Forsett fractured his right forearm and was replaced by rookie Javorius Allen, who rushed for 67 yards and added five receptions for 48 yards. “You can try to boil it down at the very end of the game but it takes a whole game in all three phases every week”. McCown has two capable targets in receiver Travis Benjamin and tight end Gary Barnidge, but Cleveland’s ground game is 31st and the defense ranks 30th. He is expected to undergo more tests on Tuesday.
It spoiled what could have been a storybook debut for quarterback Austin Davis, who relieved injured Josh McCown with 4:20 to go in a one-score game.
After Tramon Williams picked off a Matt Schaub offering to put the Browns in business, Davis connected with Hartline for six yards, then scrambled seven more for a vital first down. Somehow, the field goal was blocked and the Ravens’ Will Hill ran over 60 yards to score a touchdown to win the game for Baltimore.
The Browns said Manziel was demoted because of issues over trust and accountability. “We didn’t finish it”.
All you need to know about Baltimore’s special teams play on Monday was that its first touchdown and last both came from the guys who don’t get enough credit.
The Ravens got on the board first when Kaelin Clay returned Cleveland’s first punt of the game 82 yards for a touchdown, but that was only a prelude to the fun.
Cleveland has been inundated with head injuries.
After Travis Coons’ 31-yard field goal got Cleveland on the board, Schaub answered quickly.

“All the guys that set the wall down the sideline, it was just a thing of beauty”, Harbaugh said.
