The play of Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson keeps hindering Cleveland's offense.
On the second play of the game, Watson threw an errant pass that was intercepted by Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton, who walked into the end zone, giving Baltimore a 7-0 lead.

Watson has disappointed this season. In five games, he has completed 62 percent of his passes for 902 yards, six TDs, three interceptions and a below-average 41.7 QBR. The Browns are 29th in the NFL in passing yards (184.1).
Cleveland can't afford to make critical mistakes against Baltimore. The Ravens have won four straight games and are first in the league in points allowed (13.8).
The Browns (5-3) are third in the AFC North and need a victory to solidify their playoff chances. The New York Times simulator notes their postseason chances will fall to 55 percent if they lose to the Ravens (7-2). If Watson keeps making mistakes, it will cost them.
