The team noted that live radio streams are subject to NFL home-market restrictions and will only be accessible to fans located within the Browns’ designated market. The Browns’ site says a fan’s location is determined automatically based on the internet connection and that listeners do not need to enable Location Services to access the stream. If a fan is within the Browns’ home market but cannot access the live audio, the site suggests turning off Wi-Fi and using cellular data and then attempting to tune in again.
Streaming options for the game include FOX One and NFL+. The Browns’ site highlights that NFL+ offers a seven-day free trial for fans who want to watch local and primetime regular-season games on mobile devices. The team also referenced the Streamline app as a resource for finding when and where games will be available across streaming platforms.
The Ravens lead the all-time regular-season series against the Browns, 39-15, the team noted. The teams last met at Cleveland on Nov. 16, 2025, when Baltimore beat the Browns 23-16. Cleveland is 9-18 at home against Baltimore in regular-season play and will look to reverse that trend on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field.
One of the central matchups the Browns identified is stopping running back Derrick Henry, who ranks fifth in the NFL with 476 rushing yards this season and is averaging 95.2 rushing yards per game. Henry leads the league with 113 carries and is tied for second with seven rushing touchdowns, and he anchors a Ravens rushing attack that averages 164.4 rushing yards per game, the third-most in the league. Cleveland’s run defense is allowing 117.4 rushing yards per game, 15th in the NFL, making the Browns’ ability to contain Henry a decisive factor for Sunday.
On offense, the Browns intend to use the pass game to stretch the field after opportunities in the first five games allowed several deep completions. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has connected with rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. on downfield plays. Fannin leads the Browns with 18 receptions, while Boston leads Cleveland with 330 receiving yards; both have three touchdown catches this season. Cleveland averages 179.4 passing yards per game, 26th in the league, but could lean on the passing attack against a Ravens defense that has allowed 223.6 passing yards per game, 15th through the first five games.
The Browns also must account for Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers, who leads Baltimore with 26 receptions for 405 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The Ravens average 229.8 passing yards per game, 14th in the league. Cornerback Denzel Ward said the Browns must track where Flowers lines up, whether in the slot or on the outside, and execute their coverage plans to limit his opportunities, the team reported.

NFL Sports Blog Take
This matchup will test Cleveland’s run defense against one of the league’s most physically imposing backs and give the Browns’ passing game a chance to take advantage of a middling Baltimore pass defense. Stopping Derrick Henry will require gap discipline and consistent tackling from Cleveland’s front seven, while maintaining coverage discipline on Zay Flowers will be critical to avoiding game-altering plays. If Deshaun Watson can consistently find Denzel Boston and Harold Fannin Jr. downfield, the Browns have a realistic path to keep pace with Baltimore’s balanced attack and improve their home record in the series.
