Unlike his counterpart, Brady Quinn, he did nothing to endanger the Ravens' chances of losing the game as he maintained his trademark composure and avoided turnovers. Flacco completed 13 of 18 passes for 155 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions for a 98.1 passer rating. http://bal.scout.com/2/921566.html Aaron Wilson http://bal.scout.com/2/921566.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:08:00 GMT 0 118 Baltimore bal CLEVELAND -- Baltimore Ravens reserve safety and special-teams contributor Haruki Nakamura gruesomely broke his right ankle during the opening kickoff of Monday night's 16-0 win over the Cleveland Browns.   Because of the nature and timing of the injury, it's expected that Nakamura is out for the remainder of the season and will likely require surgery to repair the damage. http://bal.scout.com/2/921563.html Aaron Wilson http://bal.scout.com/2/921563.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:04:00 GMT 1 118 Baltimore bal CLEVELAND -- The Baltimore Ravens avoided a potentially major embarrassment on a national stage Monday night, manufacturing a crucial 16-0 victory over the hapless Cleveland Browns that began with yet another plodding, uninspired start. http://bal.scout.com/2/921562.html Aaron Wilson http://bal.scout.com/2/921562.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:00:00 GMT 0 118 Baltimore bal CLEVELAND – An extremely tense atmosphere surrounds this lackluster Monday night game between the reeling Baltimore Ravens and the dysfunctional Cleveland Browns.
