The Baltimore Ravens entered Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Browns only needing a win to clinch the AFC North. They were 18-point favorites, which is one of the biggest spreads the NFL has seen in years.
They did not waste much time in showing why they were such a decisive favorite.
Cornerback Nate Wiggins opened the scoring early in the first quarter when he intercepted a Bailey Zappe pass and easily strolled into the end zone to give the Ravens a 7-0 lead.
Have a look.
That is Wiggins’ first career interception.
Zappe is the fourth different Browns starting quarterback this season — and their 40th since returning to the NFL in 1999, most in the league — joining a list that already included Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Thompson-Robinson had started the past three games for the Browns but was completely ineffective.
This is Zappe’s first start since Week 18 of the 2023 season when he was a member of the New England Patriots.
