The Ravens' defense was equally impressive, with linebacker Roquan Smith returning a fumble 63 yards for a touchdown and recording 15 tackles. Cornerback Nate Wiggins added a 60-yard interception return, setting up another score. Special teams also contributed, as Jake Hummel blocked a punt, further solidifying Baltimore's dominance.

For the Browns, quarterback Joe Flacco, returning to Baltimore for the first time since 2018, completed 25 of 45 passes for 199 yards, including a touchdown and an interception. Rookie wide receiver Cedric Tillman and running back Dylan Sampson each found the end zone, while defensive end Myles Garrett recorded 1.5 sacks. Despite these efforts, Cleveland's offense struggled to keep pace with Baltimore's high-powered attack.
