The Cleveland Browns aren't playing on Sunday or Monday. But they will play. What to know
Deshaun Watson will make his regular season home debut in Week 15 after going 1-1 in his first two weeks as the starting quarterback following his 11-game suspension.
And the Baltimore Ravens will greet him in Cleveland.
Watson was better against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 than he was against the league's worst team, the Houston Texans, in Week 13, so progress has been made before he plays his first game in FirstEnergy Stadium. He threw for 276 yards and completed 61.9% of his passes against Cincinnati, up from 131 yards and just 54.5% the previous week.

While the Browns playoff hopes are all but dashed, and one more loss would clinch a losing season for the organization, the Ravens enter the game after a rocky month.
The Ravens are tied at the top of the AFC North standings but are scraping by each week to keep up with the surging Bengals. Cincinnati has won five straight since losing to Cleveland on Oct. 31 with wins over Tennessee and Kansas City in that run. Baltimore lost to Jacksonville in Week 12 and beat last-place teams Denver and Pittsburgh by a combined three points.
