Joe Flacco went 11-for-24 for 132 yards and two touchdowns as the Baltimore Ravens moved one step closer to the AFC North crown with a 20-14 win over the Cleveland Browns Saturday.

Baltimore, which notched a perfect 8-0 season at home for the first time in franchise history, would win the AFC North and a first-round bye by defeating Cincinnati on the road next week.

Ray Rice had 23 carries for 87 yards and led Baltimore in receiving yards with 48 on three catches, one for a touchdown.

The Ravens went up 20-0 before Cleveland ever got on the board and held on despite a Browns comeback that would cut it within a touchdown.

Josh Cribbs had a career-high 84-yard punt return for a TD for Cleveland, which managed just 284 total yards but outgained the Ravens (256).

Peyton Hillis ran for 112 yards and Seneca Wallace went 19 for 33 for 147 yards for Cleveland (4-11) in place of Colt McCoy, who was out with a concussion.

Baltimore (11-4) is back in the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons and would get home advantage through the playoffs with a win and Patriots loss next week.
