Joe Flacco struggled early, getting sacked three times and throwing an interception in the first half. Meanwhile, Jason Campbell was shredding the Ravens defense to the tune of 142 yards and two touchdowns.
Campbell came out firing in the second half, too, throwing a third touchdown to open the scoring in the third quarter. Flacco answered, leading the Ravens back to within three points in the fourth quarter, but a late field goal gave the Browns the six-point cushion they finished the game with.
With the win, the Browns improved to 4-5 and jumped the Ravens in the standings. It was also the first time the Browns had beaten the Ravens since 2007.
Injury report
Jason Campbell suffered a rib injury but he managed to return to the game and lead Cleveland to a win.
