Cleveland has played eight straight early Sunday games, with abysmal results. The Browns are going nowhere, which is exactly where they were headed last year when they pulled one shining moment out of a 4-12 season. It was a Monday night game against the Giants, who at the time were undefeated on the heels of a Super Bowl season. The Browns, in turn, were 1-3, which became the pace they maintained throughout the 2008 season. Somehow, under the bright lights against a team out of their league, they not only won. They dominated, racking up season highs in yards and points in a 35-14 win. Something about Mondays wakes up the ghosts of past Cleveland glories. The Browns are 15-13 on Monday nights. They won the first Monday night game ever played, 31-21 over the Jets on Sept. 21, 1970. There might even be some Monday night karma for Brady Quinn, who has been reinstated as the starter. Quinn's only win as an NFL starter came on a Monday night, last Nov. 17, at Buffalo. The Browns are 1-13 since then. On the off chance there's such a thing as Monday night karma, they are in no position to disbelieve. Saving a season vs. saving a regime. The Ravens have lost three of their last four, but it's not as if they have staggered to a 4-4 record. Their losses, all close, were to Cincinnati (twice), New England and Minnesota, teams with a combined 19-5 record. They are just two Sundays removed from destroying then-unbeaten Denver, 30-7. They have proven their mettle on the road against a far better opponent than the Browns, beating San Diego 31-26. Yet, a slip-up on Monday would be disastrous, because it would put them three games in arrears of both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh in the AFC North. Even a win merely keeps them hanging on, heading into a gauntlet of games against Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Green Bay. Clearly, Browns head coach Eric Mangini is highly motivated to win because he needs to give owner Randy Lerner something to believe in. It's not nearly as clear how motivated the players are to prop up the Mangini regime, as opposed to simply playing for themselves and their careers. If the Browns make a game of it, it will be a sign the players are willing to go to the wall for Mangini. If the Browns lay another egg, it will be a sign Mangini is likely to follow general manager George Kokinis out the door. Watch LIVE here http://nflonpc.blogspot.com What happening? Baltimore always gets Cleveland's dander up. For the first time in the Browns-Ravens series, Baltimore comes to town without any of the players who were with the 1995 Browns, the team that moved to Baltimore in 1996. Placekicker Matt Stover had been the last man standing. Still, Browns fans will never forget that their team was hijacked by Art Modell, and the series will always having meaning for them. Many have always resented Ray Lewis ascent to icon status, noting that he was a first-round pick the first year the Browns-turned- Watch LIVE here http://nflonpc.blogspot.com What happening? End
