AI RECAPIn a thrilling Week 2 matchup of the 2028 season, the Cleveland Browns narrowly defeated the Baltimore Ravens with a final score of 36-31. This victory not only boosts Cleveland's confidence early in the season but also sets the stage for a competitive AFC North race as both teams vie for playoff positioning.
Cleveland's quarterback Taylen Green put on a stellar performance, throwing for 385 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to connect with his receivers. Odell Beckham Jr. was a standout target, racking up an impressive 165 receiving yards, making key plays throughout the game that kept the Ravens' defense on their heels.

The game turned in the fourth quarter when Cleveland's defense managed to hold off a late Ravens surge, allowing only a field goal. Despite Nate Wiggins’ two interceptions for Baltimore, the Browns' ability to make crucial stops and maintain their lead in the final moments proved decisive in this hard-fought victory.
