Baltimore somehow allowed 401 yards of total offense in that game to Jameis Winston and the NFL\u2019s worst scoring offense last season.<\/p>\n<h2>Marlon Humphrey May Need Surgery On His Finger<\/h2>\n<p>The good news for Ravens fans is Humphrey\u2019s finger injury is not a long-term thing. The corner was injured during Baltimore\u2019s 27-19 win over the Minnesota Vikings.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ravens.com, athletic trainers wrapped his hand to protect his finger, but Humphrey still recorded a third-quarter interception against Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>There is uncertainty with Humphrey\u2019s decision whether to get surgery, since the Ravens\u2019 bye has already passed and they put themselves behind the 8-ball with their 1-5 start.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore could ill-afford to lose a game while it waits to get the superstar cornerback healthy, even with the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers in free fall by dropping three of their past four.<\/p>\n<p>So Harbaugh is leaving the door open for Humphrey to play.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cHe might need to get something done to tighten it up, which would mean he could play right away, maybe, or it might take a week to come back from that if he does decide to do it (surgery),\u201d Harbaugh said.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for the Ravens, if Humphrey wanted to get his finger right and have surgery, it wouldn\u2019t be more than a week or two for him to recover. That could make now the time for him to have the surgery, since the Browns (2-7) have lost five of six and are averaging 18 points per game with quarterback Dillon Gabriel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIt would be a week at most, I\u2019m told,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cWhen you say a week, I\u2019m thinking maybe two or maybe none. If he decides to play with it and keep it wrapped up, then he can play this game (against Cleveland).\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Browns Have Been A Different Opponent At Home<\/h2>\n<p>The Ravens defense smothered the Joe Flacco-backed Cleveland offense in their Week 2, 41-17 win at M&amp;T Bank Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>But before Baltimore fans start overlooking the Browns again, Cleveland has been different while playing on Lake Erie than in road games, where it has dropped 13 straight dating back to last year including its 27-20 loss to the New York Jets.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns are 2-1 at Huntington Bank Field this season, with only a one-point loss to the Joe Burrow-led Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 keeping them from a perfect record. They beat the Green Bay Packers 13-10 in Week 3 and blitzed the Miami Dolphins 31-6 while forcing four turnovers Oct. 19.<\/p>\n<p>So Humphrey may decide to have surgery, since Baltimore has about a 65 percent chance of making the playoffs per ESPN. But a win in Cleveland isn\u2019t a guarantee, even with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pat Pickens is an experienced sports writer and media personality who has written for outlets like NHL.com, the Associated Press, the New York Times and USA Today.
