The Baltimore Ravens finished the season as the undisputed No. 1 seed in the AFC.
They lost three games all season and are currently riding a six-game winning streak.
Notably, their last loss came at the hands of the Cleveland Browns.
With that in mind, former NFL star Jason McCourty warned the Ravens about getting too confident against their divisional rival, as the Browns could be quite a dangerous foe in the postseason.
“I just think the way the Cleveland Browns are playing right now, Flacco’s throwing the ball forty times a game, but he is getting it done,” McCourty said.

Talking on Good Morning Football, he stated that Joe Flacco is balling and throwing the football 40+ times per game, reminding everybody that he used to play quarterback for them and raving about their stellar defense, anchored by Myles Garrett.
The Browns weren’t a match for the Ravens in their first matchup of the season, mostly because Deshaun Watson ruled himself out of the game shortly before kickoff, putting rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson in a tough spot.
Watson and company got back at them later in the campaign, with the former Houston Texans star having his best game as a Brown before suffering a season-ending injury.
We know the playoffs are an entirely different thing, but these teams know each other pretty well, and the Browns have played much better with Flacco than with any other quarterback.
We’re still weeks away from that hypothetical matchup, and the Browns still need to get past whoever they face in the wild card round (Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, or Indianapolis Colts).
But the Ravens will have to keep an eye on that game and root for their opponents, as they definitely don’t want to mess with Kevin Stefanski’s team.
