Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass Podcasts. The Ravens improved to 3-1 with a dominant 28-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The Ravens really controlled this game from the outset. The defense played great. Didn't allow the Browns to do much of anything.

The offense was highly efficient. Quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for four touchdowns, two on the ground and two through the air. He played another great game. And his good friend, Mark Andrews, scored a pair of those touchdowns as the Ravens got a key division win.

It was a big day for the Ravens. As you look around the AFC North, both the Steelers and the Bengals, and then of course the Browns as well, all three teams in the division lost. The Ravens are sitting atop the AFC North at three and one on the season. After the game, head coach John Harbaugh talked with the media.

John Harbaugh (2:03)

Okay, good to see everybody. Really appreciate you being here. Just really, really proud of our guys. I mean, coming here, the environment, the team we were playing, how well they were playing.

Believe me, they're a very good football team, very well coached, very good football team with a lot of good football in front of them, as we well know in our division. So that win speaks a lot. I'm really proud of our guys for the way they played. I thought they handled themselves well, played about as well as you can play in the circumstances against that kind of an opponent.

I thought we were real patient throughout the course of the game, especially in the first half, three and out, three and out, three and out, against this defense, this great defense. And just to kind of not get out of whack and keep our heads about us and keep trying to pound. And then we were able to get a couple of big drives, get a turnover here or there and get a couple of scores, which is what you got to do against a great defense like that. So, I mean, Roquan leading us on defense, our defense got the spike because they pretty much closed the game out, the whole game.

That's what they did every single series, led by Ro and all the rest of the guys. The corners really stepped up. Safety's played good. Our run defense, that's a really good running offense. And they were getting some yards on us here and there. And our guys really, our tackles really started squaring up on their own line. I thought we set the edge well.

And then first interceptions, Brandon Stevens getting his first ever interception.

That was really big. And then Kyle Hamilton getting his first ever interception at the end was awesome. So just really proud of all the guys. I thought Mark Andrews just played incredible game. And then finally Lamar.

I mean, Lamar, that top rate against this defense, you know, is really challenging. Lamar kept his poise. He was running the show out there. He was the point guard. He was the general. He was making the calls, making the changes, handling the shot clock. I just thought he played a fantastic football game.

John, how big was it now that you have two AFC North Road games and you come out with both of the victories? You know, how does that set you up?

John Harbaugh (4:06)

Well, it's a good start. I mean, it's a good start. You know, we've had these, we've got all these AFC North Road games on our schedule right away. And that's an opportunity. And our guys have taken advantage of that so far. Now we're going to go to Pittsburgh next week.
