BALTIMORE, Md. -- Observations, opinions and some facts about the third quarter ...

• Browns squander opening possession, but advance it far enough for Reggie Hodges to punt to Ravens' 14. Field position hasn't been the Browns' problem today.

• Anquan Boldin beats Eric Wright again, this time on a crossing pattern, for 34 yards. Boldin: six catches, 102 yards, two TD.

• Billy Cundiff's 51-yard field goal bangs off the left upright. With 8:30 to go, Browns again get favorable field position at the 41-yard line.

• At this point of the game, Mohamed Massaquoi has not received even a look, much less a passs, from Seneca Wallace.

• Ideal field position goes up in smoke. Benjamin Watson is slapped 15 yards for unnecessary roughness when he appears to elbow a Baltimore player to the ground after a play. Browns have to punt from their 48, and ball goes into the end zone for touchback.

• Browns force three-and-out when Joe Haden breaks up Joe Flacco's quick inside pass for Derrick Mason. That probably goes for 65 yards and a touchdown vs. Brandon McDonald last year.

• News flash: Mohamed Massaquoi gets his first pass with 3:35 to go in the third quarter. It's late and broken up by Fabian Washington.

• Third-and-8 from the Browns' 32: Inside handoff to Peyton Hillis for three yards. Nice.

• Tom Zbikwoski's 17-yard punt return is the first time Ravens did anything on special teams.

• Ravens can't capitalize and have to punt. Great angle punt by Sam Koch is downed at the Browns' 14.

• Hillis busts one into the secondary for 48 yards. Zbikowski's late hit out of bounds tacks on 15 yards to the Ravens' 23.

• Wildcat alert: Josh Cribbs takes the snap and scampers behind Lawrence Vickers and Joe Thomas for 19 yards down to the 4. Wow.
