Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens NFL Week 6 Live Updates, Highlights and Analysis

Gary DavenportOct 18, 2026

It's a stretch to call a Week 6 game for a 3-2 team a "must-win." But after an ugly performance last week in New York, the Cleveland Browns badly need to bounce back if they want to be taken seriously in the AFC North race.

With a victory on Sunday over the Baltimore Ravens, the Browns would move into first place in the division. Lose for the second straight week, and the rumblings will grow louder that these Dawgs are more pug than pitbull.

It's an important contest for Cleveland. And we'll be with you from the opening kickoff to the final whistle, with highlights, commentary and hopefully some smack talk after a Browns win.

Ravens Browns Football

The Browns will now head to Tennessee to take on a Titans team that just earned its first win of the season. It's a winnable game that would boost Cleveland's record to 5-2--a number that seemed unimaginable before the season.

The defense has been lights-out since the Week 1 debacle in Jacksonville. But the offense has to step up if the Browns are going to legitimately make a run at the postseason.

However, it's going to be hard for this team to attain offensive consistency if they continue to struggle running the ballโ€”Jaleel McLaughlin was OK Sunday, but the Browns were held under 95 yards on the ground and managed just 3.2 yards per carry.

See you Dawgs next week!

Browns 13, Ravens 10

Szmyt gets redemption with a game-winner from 37 yards out to complete another fourth quarter comeback, and the Browns are 4-2.

The last time Cleveland was in first place this late in the season was 2014.

Dare We Hope?

10 seconds left. Browns in field goal range.

Well, Szmyt

Ravens Browns Football

Andre Szmyt had hit on 25 consecutive field goal attempts.

Note the word "had."

With a chance to take the lead, Szmyt missed from 48 yards.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Three and Out

Chargers Browns Football

Cleveland has the ball back at their own 40. Seven minutes left. Tie game.

This is a weird team. Looked dead in the water for three quarters. But they have sprung to life and the Dawg Pound is jumping.

Browns 10, Ravens 10

Presented without comment, if only because I can't believe this game is actually tied.

FUMBLE!

The Browns have to do something with this opportunity.

Offensive Offense

Ravens Browns Football

This is just gross.

It's the fourth quarter, and the Browns have 113 yards and six first downs.

The Browns aren't even really trying to run the ball. The offensive line is terrible. The play-calling is unimaginative. And for the second straight game Deshaun Watson's numbers look like a high school quarterback.

Broken Record Time

The Cleveland defense continues to ball it--a long pass to Zay Flowers helped get the Ravens into field goal range, but once again the defense held and forced a Tyler Loop kick.

That kick sailed wide, and we stay at 10-3

Sack Attack 2.0

Deshaun Watson has now been dropped five times in Week 6. That's after eight sacks allowed to the Jets a week ago.

The Browns have now surrendered a league-high 24 sacks.

Care to guess how the drive ended?

Hanging Tough

Ravens Browns Football

You have to give it up to the Cleveland defense. Since yielding points on their first two drives, the Browns have put the clamps on the Ravens.

Over his first eight carries, Derrick Henry had 41 rushing yards. Since then, he has five carries for six yards.

Ravens 10, Browns 3

The good news is that the Browns got on the board, driving 42 yards and 10 plays before a 48-yard Andre Szmyt field goal.

The bad news is that Cleveland had worked inside the red zone, only to hve their best run of the game called back for holding.

Had to mention the penalties.

I'm sorry.

Intermission

Ravens Browns Football

Frankly, given the complete lack of offense from the Browns (46 yards and three first downs) the Browns are lucky they aren't in an even deeper hole. The defense hasn't let the Ravens do anything since the first two drives.

Unfortunately, those first two drives resulted in points, and the Browns are down 10 at the break.

Silver lining? Only two first-half penalties.

You take bright spots where you can in Cleveland.

The Boo Birds are Out

APTOPIX Panthers Browns Football

The Browns go three-and-out--again. Deshaun Watson gets sacked--again. Cleveland has less than 50 yards of offense..

And the fans are not pleased.

The Man, the Myth, the Legend

What? I'm looking for something to be happy about--although an excellent Corey Bojorquez punt pinned the Ravens deep.

And if Bernie Kosar doesn't make you happy, you are not a Cleveland Browns fan.

De-Fense!

Baltimore Ravens v Cleveland Browns

After a shaky start, Cleveland's defense has settled in--the Browns force a three-and-out and get the ball back.

A really good defense wasted on a team that can't move the ball.

That hasn't happened in Cleveland since 2025.

Nothing Working

Ravens Browns Football

The Browns can't generate any offense.

The team has seven carries for 22 yards on the ground and all of 10 passing yards. No one is open downfield.

At least the punter is staying busy.

Hey! A Punt!

The Ravens stopped themselves as much as the Browns did, but even when Cleveland wins they lose--excellent special teams by Baltimore pins Cleveland inside their own five-yard line.

Hail to the King

Ravens Browns Football

After one quarter, Derrick Henry has 41 rushing yards and is averaging over five yards a pop.

If that continues, the next three quarters will be uglier than the first one.

Um, Yeah

Browns Patriots Football

Two offensive series. Eight plays. One first down.

The Browns have been out-gained 96-7 so far.

Guys. The. Game. Started.

I feel like no one listens to me.

Ravens 10, Browns 0

A defensive breakdown and a roughing the passer flag put the Ravens in the red zone one play into their second drive. But the Cleveland defense stiffened, forcing a short Tyler Loop field goal.

Now if someone would just tell the offense that the game started.

Sack Attack

Calais Campbell has had an outstanding NFL career.

But this was just mean.

Three and out for the Browns. Ravens back on offense.

What time do the Guardians play again?

Ravens 7, Browns 0

11 plays, 66 yards, almost seven minutes off the clock and not much in the way of resistance from the Cleveland defense.

Pretty much the exact opposite of the start Cleveland wanted.

Injury Update

It's far from ideal to lose a veteran leader like safety Grant Delpit on the first drive of the game--especially considering Cleveland's lack of depth on the back end.

Three Keys

Ravens Browns Football

The Browns need to do the following to win in Week 6.

Balance on Offense - Running the ball has been an issue all season long for the Browns, but they have to try--having Deshuan Watson drop back 45 times is no bueno.

Contain the King - Derrick Henry is going to get his, but the more the Browns make Tyler Huntley throw the ball the better.

Eliminate Mistakes - Turnovers and penalties against a team like the Ravens will get you beat.

Injury Report

Quinshon Judkins tried to give it a go in pre-game workouts, but the sprained ankle he sustained last week will sideline the second-year back in Week 6.

Jaleel McLaughlin will start for the Browns at running back, while Audric Estime will mix in.

On defense, the Browns will have linebacker Carson Schwesinger--good news headed into a matchup with Derrick Henry. But defensive tackle Mason Graham will miss a third straight contest.

No Lamar Jackson (ankle) for the Ravens--Tyler Huntley will draw a second straight start under center.
