Cleveland Browns: Winners and losers from statement win over Ravens

Winner: Jermaine Whitehead

Against the Rams one week ago, safety Jermaine Whitehead was sticking out in the worst possible way. On the field due to the injury to Morgan Burnett, Whitehead seemingly made one mistake after another at home against LA. He looked like a new player on the road against these Ravens, however.

Whitehead may not be a superstar in the making but he was a star on Sunday in Week 4. He was the direct cause of Baltimore’s three turnovers, forcing a fumble, making a great play for an interception and pressuring Lamar Jackson to force the second interception. It was a big day for playmaking for Whitehead in the victory and he deserves all of the praise for his efforts.

Loser: Chris Hubbard

It was terrific to finally see the Cleveland Browns offense clicking on almost every cylinder, having Mayfield move the ball well through the air and Chubb break off both consistent runs and big plays throughout the day. On top of that, the Browns offensive line as a whole really stepped up to help alleviate some of the pressure that they had been letting through in the first three weeks, allowing just one sack.

The exception to that, however, was right tackle Chris Hubbard. The big man protecting Mayfield’s front side has been problematic all year and that continued without question on Sunday for him. He was pedestrian at best in the running game and it was more of the same with his pass blocking. So while you have to applaud the offense, Hubbard’s lackluster showing can’t be ignored still.
