The Browns fell behind 7-3 after one quarter in Baltimore.
BALTIMORE -- The Browns' bad luck with injuries continued Sunday, and so did the Ravens' dominance on defense as Baltimore took a 7-3 lead after one quarter at M&T Bank Stadium.
Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme sat for the second consecutive game with a high ankle sprain, and he was joined on the sidelines by a slew of other starters that included running back Jerome Harrison, receiver Brian Robiskie and nose tackle Shaun Rogers.
After the first drive, right tackle John St. Clair joined the injured list with a sprained ankle. His return is questionable.
Baltimore, meanwhile, extended its streak of quarters without an opponent scoring a touchdown to nine this season when the Browns had to settle for a field goal on their first drive. Cleveland focused on running back Peyton Hillis on its opening drive, as Hillis carried eight times for 34 yards.
The Ravens countered with quarterback Joe Flacco connecting with Anquan Boldin on a 6-yard touchdown pass to give the Ravens a 7-3 advantage with 1:29 left in the first quarter.
