The last time Cleveland got the better of its rival -- way back on Nov. 18, 2007 -- magic man Derek Anderson guided the Browns past Kyle Boller. It's been a long, cold road since, but cornerback Joe Haden believes Sunday will be different because, well, Baltimore is different. "The Ravens aren't the Ravens of old," Haden told reporters Thursday, per The Plain Dealer. "They're still really good, a real talented team, a division opponent, but at the same time, our team is a whole different team. It's a different squad. We still haven't gotten over the hump, but there's no reason why we can't." Source: NFL.com
well, i would say that this match-up may be closer than it has been in a while but the ravens are still the better team, especially considering cleveland's qb situation. if the browns had a decent qb in place, then this could have been a toss-up game.
