Cleveland, OH

Colt McCoy and the Cleveland Browns offense struggled again Sunday and the Baltimore Ravens made them pay.

The Browns netted fewer than 200 yards the first 52 minutes against the Ray Lewis-less Ravens while Ray Rice rushed for 197 himself as the Ravens built a 24-3 lead and beat the Browns for the seventh straight time, 24-10, at Browns Stadium.

With the win Baltimore (9-3) kept pace with Pittsburgh atop the AFC North.

It was the seventh loss in nine games following a 2-1 start for the Browns (4-8), who were guaranteed their fourth straight season with a non-winning record, matching the longest streak in team history.

Rice opened the scoring with a 6-yard run, added a 67-yard scamper later as he helped Baltimore control the ball for 37 minutes. He finished with 204 yards on 29 carries. Joe Flacco completed 10-of-23 passes for 158 yards.

Maligned Cleveland quarterback McCoy, who has struggled throwing the ball down the field all season and hasn't been able to get Cleveland more than 20 points in 10 straight games, struggled again. He completed 17-of-35 passes for 192 yards with an interception and was sacked three times. He had just one completion of over 22 yards and that was to running back Peyton Hillis.

Cleveland converted just 13 first downs and was just 3 of 14 on third downs.
