Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens Match Player Stats

The cleveland browns vs baltimore ravens match player stats from January 5, 2025 tell a clear story of Baltimore’s control from start to finish. The Ravens defeated the Browns 35-10, using a balanced offensive attack, strong rushing production, and opportunistic defense to turn a competitive opening period into a comfortable victory. Derrick Henry produced 138 rushing yards and two touchdowns, Lamar Jackson added 63 rushing yards while throwing for 217 yards and two scores, and Baltimore’s defense intercepted Bailey Zappe twice.

For Cleveland, the numbers show a much more difficult offensive afternoon. The Browns finished with only 174 passing yards and 56 rushing yards, averaging just 2.9 yards per rushing attempt. Their offense also surrendered two interceptions and nine sacks collectively between Zappe and Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Those numbers help explain why Cleveland scored only 10 points despite producing 183 receiving yards.

This breakdown examines the complete statistical picture rather than focusing only on the final score. Passing efficiency, rushing production, receiving volume, defensive pressure, turnovers, special teams, and game flow all help explain why Baltimore finished the day with a 25-point advantage.

Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens Match Player Stats: Game Overview

The game was played on January 5, 2025, with Baltimore entering the matchup at 12-5 overall and 6-2 at home. Cleveland entered at 3-14 overall and 1-8 on the road.

Baltimore won 35-10 and scored in every quarter:

Quarter	Cleveland Browns	Baltimore Ravens
1st	0	7
2nd	3	7
3rd	0	7
4th	7	14
Final	10	35

The quarter-by-quarter distribution is important because Baltimore did not need one explosive scoring period to win. The Ravens built their advantage gradually and then extended it in the fourth quarter.

Cleveland’s offense scored only once through the first three quarters, with its only touchdown coming in the fourth. Baltimore, by comparison, scored at least seven points in every quarter.

That consistency is one of the most useful observations when evaluating the game.

The statistical contrast

The overall numbers reveal a strong difference in offensive efficiency:

Category	Cleveland	Baltimore
Passing yards	174	217
Rushing yards	56	220
Total passing attempts	34	32
Rushing attempts	19	35
Passing TDs	1	2
Rushing TDs	0	2
Interceptions thrown	2	0
Sacks	2 for 9 total	0
Receiving yards	183	217

The biggest separation came on the ground.

Baltimore produced 220 rushing yards on 35 attempts, averaging 6.3 yards per carry. Cleveland managed only 56 yards on 19 attempts, averaging 2.9 yards per carry.

That 164-yard rushing difference gave Baltimore a major advantage in controlling the structure of the game.

Lamar Jackson’s Passing and Rushing Performance

Lamar Jackson’s statistical line was efficient enough to support Baltimore’s balanced attack without requiring a huge passing volume.

He completed 16 of 32 attempts for 217 yards, averaging 6.8 yards per attempt. He threw two touchdowns and no interceptions.

His reported QBR was 67.8, while his passer rating was 92.8.

The most important part of Jackson’s performance, however, was not simply his passing total. His rushing contribution added another dimension.

Jackson carried the ball nine times for 63 yards, averaging 7.0 yards per carry.

That means he contributed 280 combined passing and rushing yards.

Why Jackson’s dual-threat production mattered

Jackson did not need to throw for 300 or 400 yards because Baltimore consistently created production on the ground.

His rushing ability also made the offense harder to defend. A quarterback who can produce seven yards per carry forces defenders to account for another rushing threat in addition to the running backs.

Jackson’s nine carries were also significant in the context of Baltimore’s overall rushing total. Derrick Henry supplied the majority of the production, but Jackson’s 63 yards provided an important secondary source of movement.

The combination was especially effective because Cleveland’s defense could not force Baltimore into a one-dimensional passing attack.

Derrick Henry Was the Game’s Biggest Rushing Force

Among the most important Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens match player stats was Derrick Henry’s rushing line.

Henry carried 20 times for 138 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 6.9 yards per carry and recorded a long run of 43 yards.

That performance accounted for more than half of Baltimore’s 220 rushing yards.

Henry’s 138 rushing yards also exceeded Cleveland’s entire team rushing output by 82 yards.

That is a particularly revealing comparison because it illustrates how heavily the game tilted toward Baltimore’s ground game.

Henry’s efficiency was more important than his workload alone

A 20-carry workload is notable, but the efficiency makes the performance stand out.

Henry averaged 6.9 yards per attempt. Baltimore’s entire rushing unit averaged 6.3 yards per carry.

His 43-yard long run also demonstrated his ability to turn a normal rushing opportunity into a major gain.

The two touchdowns gave his performance direct scoreboard value as well.

Baltimore did not merely accumulate rushing yards between the twenties. Henry’s production translated into points.

Baltimore’s Rushing Attack Created the Biggest Statistical Gap

Baltimore finished with 35 rushing attempts for 220 yards, two touchdowns, and a 6.3-yard average.

The team’s rushing distribution was:

Player	Carries	Yards	Average	TD	Long
Derrick Henry	20	138	6.9	2	43
Lamar Jackson	9	63	7.0	0
Keaton Mitchell	4	10	2.5	0
Zay Flowers	1	9	9.0	0
Mark Andrews	1	0	0.0	0
Team	35	220	6.3	2	43

The table shows that Baltimore did not depend on Henry alone.

Jackson supplied 63 yards, while Zay Flowers added nine yards on one carry. Keaton Mitchell contributed 10 yards, and Mark Andrews also recorded a rushing attempt.

That variety matters because it demonstrates the different ways Baltimore could generate rushing yardage.

Cleveland’s Rushing Production Was a Major Problem

Cleveland’s running game never developed the same efficiency.

The Browns finished with 19 rushing attempts for only 56 yards, averaging 2.9 yards per carry.

D’Onta Foreman led the team with 10 carries for 27 yards. Jacob Kibodi had five carries for 24 yards, while Dorian Thompson-Robinson recorded two carries for three yards and Bailey Zappe had two carries for two yards.

Player	Carries	Yards	Average	TD	Long
D’Onta Foreman	10	27	2.7	0	8
Jacob Kibodi	5	24	4.8	0	17
Dorian Thompson-Robinson	2	3	1.5	0
Bailey Zappe	2	2	1.0	0
Team	19	56	2.9	0	17

The difference between the two rushing attacks was dramatic.

Baltimore averaged 6.3 yards per carry.

Cleveland averaged 2.9.

That 3.4-yard difference per attempt is substantial at the NFL level, especially when one team also has the advantage in rushing volume.

Bailey Zappe’s Passing Numbers Tell a Complicated Story

Bailey Zappe completed 16 of 31 passes for 170 yards, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt.

He threw one touchdown and two interceptions.

His reported QBR was 17.6, while his passer rating was 51.8.

Zappe’s completion percentage was approximately 51.6 percent, based on the supplied 16-for-31 line.

His numbers show that Cleveland was able to move the ball through the air in stretches, but the passing game lacked the efficiency and ball security required to keep pace with Baltimore.

The two interceptions were especially costly

Zappe’s two interceptions gave Baltimore extra opportunities and contributed directly to the game’s statistical imbalance.

Baltimore’s defense finished with two interceptions overall, with Nate Wiggins returning one 26 yards for a touchdown and Michael Pierce returning the other six yards.

The defensive touchdown was especially damaging because it turned a defensive play into seven points.

This is one reason box-score analysis should go beyond completion percentage and yardage. A quarterback can accumulate passing yards while still losing substantial value through turnovers.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s Limited Passing Work

Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed two of three passes for 13 yards.

He did not throw a touchdown or interception. His reported QBR was 14.9, while his passer rating was 75.7.

He also recorded two rushing attempts for three yards.

His passing contribution was small compared with Zappe’s because the Browns’ primary passing workload went to Zappe.

The combined Cleveland passing numbers were 18 completions on 34 attempts for 174 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

Cleveland’s Receiving Numbers Were Better Than the Final Score Suggests

One of the more interesting details in the Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens match player stats is Cleveland’s receiving production.

The Browns recorded 18 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown on 33 listed targets.

Jerry Jeudy led Cleveland with six receptions for 63 yards on 13 targets.

Jordan Akins also caught six passes, producing 60 yards and a touchdown on eight targets.

Elijah Moore added three receptions for 36 yards on five targets.

Jerry Jeudy’s workload

Jeudy’s 13 targets were the highest total among Cleveland receivers.

He turned those opportunities into six receptions and 63 yards.

His longest reception was 30 yards, showing that Cleveland was capable of creating some downfield production even though the offense struggled overall.

The issue was not simply a lack of receiving opportunities.

Cleveland’s passing attack generated 183 receiving yards, but those yards were not converted into enough points.

Jordan Akins provided Cleveland’s touchdown

Akins caught six passes for 60 yards and one touchdown.

His average was 10.0 yards per reception, and his longest reception went for 21 yards.

His touchdown was Cleveland’s only passing touchdown of the game.

Elijah Moore supplied another useful receiving contribution

Moore recorded three catches for 36 yards.

His 12.0-yard average per reception was the highest among Cleveland’s three leading receivers.

Together, Jeudy, Akins, and Moore accounted for 15 receptions and 159 receiving yards.

That represents the majority of Cleveland’s 183 receiving yards.

Baltimore’s Receiving Production Was More Efficient

Baltimore recorded 16 receptions for 217 yards, averaging 13.6 yards per reception.

That average was considerably higher than Cleveland’s 10.2-yard team average.

The Ravens also scored twice through the air.

Player	Receptions	Yards	Average	TD	Targets
Rashod Bateman	5	76	15.2	1	8
Mark Andrews	4	54	13.5	1	8
Isaiah Likely	3	38	12.7	0	5
Derrick Henry	2	23	11.5	0
Patrick Ricard	1	14	14.0	0
Zay Flowers	1	12	12.0	0
Team	16	217	13.6	2	30

Rashod Bateman led Baltimore’s receivers

Bateman caught five passes for 76 yards and one touchdown.

His 15.2-yard average was excellent, and his longest reception covered 24 yards.

He was also targeted eight times.

Bateman’s production gave Jackson an effective passing option while Baltimore’s rushing game remained the central engine of the offense.

Mark Andrews added two important scores through the passing game

Andrews finished with four receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown.

His average was 13.5 yards per reception, with a 30-yard long reception.

His eight targets matched Bateman for the team lead.

That combination of volume and efficiency made Andrews another major component of Baltimore’s passing production.

Baltimore’s Defense Changed the Game

The Ravens finished with 54 total tackles, 30 solo tackles, three tackles for loss, six pass defenses, three quarterback hits, and two sacks.

The defense also produced two interceptions and a defensive touchdown.

Those takeaways were among the clearest statistical reasons Baltimore won comfortably.

Nate Wiggins delivered a game-changing interception

Nate Wiggins intercepted a pass and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown.

A defensive touchdown is one of the most valuable individual events in a football game because it provides points without requiring the offense to sustain a drive.

Wiggins’ return was therefore more than a defensive statistic. It directly contributed to Baltimore’s 35-point total.

Michael Pierce also intercepted Zappe

Michael Pierce recorded Baltimore’s second interception and returned it six yards.

Baltimore finished with two interceptions for 32 total return yards and one defensive touchdown.

Cleveland had no interceptions.

That turnover differential favored Baltimore 2-0.

Roquan Smith Led Baltimore in Tackles

Roquan Smith recorded 10 tackles, including three solo tackles.

His 10-tackle total was the highest individual tackle figure provided in the game data.

The Ravens also received pressure from Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy.

Oweh recorded five tackles, four solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one quarterback hit.

Van Noy recorded three tackles, two solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one quarterback hit.

Those individual performances helped Baltimore produce two sacks while Cleveland’s defense recorded none.

Cleveland’s Defense Had Plenty of Tackles but Limited Disruption

Cleveland finished with 59 tackles, including 44 solo tackles.

At first glance, that total may appear impressive. But tackle volume alone does not necessarily indicate defensive success.

The Browns recorded no sacks, three tackles for loss, four pass defenses, and five quarterback hits.

Baltimore’s offense still produced 437 total yards when combining its 217 passing yards and 220 rushing yards.

That is the key context.

Cleveland’s defense made tackles, but it struggled to create the negative plays that could have disrupted Baltimore’s offensive rhythm.

Cleveland’s defensive leaders

Sam Kamara led the listed Cleveland defensive players with six tackles and five solo tackles.

Mike Ford Jr., Winston Reid, Cameron Thomas, and Mohamoud Diabate each recorded five tackles.

The Browns’ defense therefore had several players contributing in the tackle column, but the absence of sacks and interceptions limited the impact of those individual efforts.

Turnovers Were One of the Clearest Deciding Factors

Turnovers are often among the first statistics worth checking after a game, and this matchup provides a strong example of why.

Cleveland threw two interceptions.

Baltimore threw none.

Neither team recorded a fumble.

That produced a turnover margin of plus-two for Baltimore.

The advantage became even more meaningful because one interception was returned for a touchdown.

So the turnover story was not simply about possession. It also affected the scoreboard directly.

Special Teams Provided Additional Context

The special teams numbers were not the primary reason Baltimore won, but they provide useful context.

Cleveland’s Kaden Davis returned three kickoffs for 107 yards, averaging 35.7 yards per return with a 40-yard long.

James Proche II added one kickoff return for 19 yards.

Cleveland’s kick return team therefore recorded four returns for 126 yards.

Baltimore’s Keaton Mitchell had one kickoff return for 47 yards.

Field goal and extra-point production

Dustin Hopkins made his only field-goal attempt, a 23-yard kick, and converted his extra-point attempt.

He finished with four points.

Justin Tucker did not attempt a field goal but made all five of his extra-point attempts.

He finished with five points.

The lack of field-goal attempts from Baltimore is another indication of how the Ravens converted their scoring opportunities into touchdowns.

Punting Numbers

Cleveland punter Corey Bojorquez recorded five punts for 216 yards, averaging 43.2 yards per punt.

His longest punt was 62 yards, and one punt resulted in a touchback.

Baltimore’s Jordan Stout punted four times for 179 yards, averaging 44.8 yards per punt.

His longest punt traveled 70 yards, with two touchbacks and one punt inside the 20-yard line.

Baltimore therefore had a slightly higher average punt distance and a longer individual punt.

What the Box Score Says About Game Control

A useful way to interpret the game is to divide the statistical story into four areas: efficiency, volume, turnovers, and scoring conversion.

1. Baltimore dominated rushing efficiency

Baltimore averaged 6.3 yards per carry.

Cleveland averaged 2.9.

That difference gave the Ravens a much stronger foundation for sustaining drives.

2. Baltimore avoided negative passing plays

Jackson threw no interceptions and was not sacked according to the supplied passing data.

Cleveland’s quarterbacks combined for two interceptions and two sacks.

That contrast allowed Baltimore to keep its offensive possessions cleaner.

3. Baltimore converted production into touchdowns

The Ravens scored five touchdowns:

• Two rushing touchdowns by Derrick Henry
• Two passing touchdowns from Lamar Jackson
• One defensive touchdown from Nate Wiggins

Cleveland scored one passing touchdown and one field goal.

That explains much of the 35-10 final score.

4. Cleveland’s yardage was not enough

Cleveland’s 183 receiving yards were respectable, but the team finished with only 174 passing yards because receiving totals include the contribution of completed passes and can differ from team passing figures due to statistical accounting.

The more important point is that Cleveland did not turn its passing opportunities into sustained scoring.

Why the 35-10 Score Can Be Misleading Without Context

A final score tells you who won, but not necessarily how the game developed.

Baltimore’s advantage was built through multiple areas rather than a single statistic.

The Ravens had:

• 220 rushing yards
• 217 passing yards
• Two rushing touchdowns
• Two passing touchdowns
• Two interceptions
• One defensive touchdown
• Two sacks
• No interceptions thrown
• No fumbles

Cleveland had:

• 56 rushing yards
• 174 passing yards
• One passing touchdown
• One field goal
• Two interceptions
• No sacks
• No defensive interceptions
• No fumbles

The numbers reveal a team that was more efficient in almost every high-impact category.

A Deeper Look at Offensive Balance

Baltimore’s 35 rushing attempts and 32 passing attempts created a relatively balanced offensive distribution.

The Ravens did not need to become heavily pass-dependent.

Jackson’s 32 attempts represented the passing side of the attack, while Henry and the rest of the rushing group handled 35 attempts.

This balance is important because it prevented Cleveland’s defense from simply focusing on one method of attack.

The rushing production was particularly valuable because Baltimore gained 220 yards on the ground.

Cleveland’s offense had the opposite problem. Its 34 passing attempts compared with only 19 rushing attempts, and those 19 carries produced just 56 yards.

That difference in offensive balance is one of the strongest statistical fingerprints of the matchup.

The Importance of Explosive Plays

Explosive plays can change the efficiency of an entire offense, and both teams had evidence of them.

Henry’s 43-yard run was Baltimore’s biggest rushing play.

Jackson also averaged 7.0 yards per carry.

For Cleveland, Kibodi had a 17-yard rushing gain, while Jeudy recorded a 30-yard reception.

Baltimore, however, generated its explosive production while also maintaining strong overall rushing efficiency.

That combination is more difficult for a defense to manage than isolated big plays.

Player Efficiency Versus Player Volume

One of the best ways to interpret match statistics is to separate opportunity from efficiency.

Henry had 20 carries, so his 138 yards were supported by a significant workload. But his 6.9-yard average shows that he was also highly efficient.

Bateman caught five passes for 76 yards, producing 15.2 yards per reception.

Andrews caught four for 54 yards at 13.5 yards per reception.

On Cleveland’s side, Jeudy had 13 targets but produced 63 yards. That indicates a meaningful workload, but his 10.5-yard reception average was not enough to offset the broader offensive problems.

These distinctions help explain why a player can have a large target or carry count without necessarily producing the same overall impact.

Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens Match Player Stats and the Biggest Takeaways

The most important statistical lessons from this matchup are straightforward.

Derrick Henry controlled the ground game

His 138 rushing yards and two touchdowns were central to Baltimore’s offensive success.

Lamar Jackson supplied complementary production

Jackson’s 217 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, zero interceptions, and 63 rushing yards gave Baltimore a balanced quarterback performance.

Cleveland’s passing game had production but lacked efficiency

Zappe and Thompson-Robinson combined for 174 passing yards and one touchdown, but the offense also committed two interceptions.

Baltimore’s defense created points

Wiggins’ interception return for a touchdown was a major turning point in the statistical story.

The rushing differential was enormous

Baltimore’s 220 rushing yards compared with Cleveland’s 56.

That 164-yard difference is perhaps the clearest numerical summary of the game.

Cleveland’s defense tackled but did not generate enough disruption

The Browns recorded 59 tackles and five quarterback hits, but no sacks and no interceptions.

Baltimore protected the football

The Ravens finished with zero interceptions and no fumbles.

That gave them a clean turnover profile while Cleveland lost possession twice through interceptions.

How to Read These Statistics Correctly

When evaluating NFL player statistics, it is easy to focus on the biggest individual number.

A better method is to connect individual production with team context.

For example, Henry’s 138 rushing yards are impressive on their own. They become even more meaningful when compared with Cleveland’s 56 total rushing yards.

Similarly, Jackson’s 217 passing yards might not look overwhelming compared with some high-volume passing performances. But when combined with 63 rushing yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions, the overall contribution becomes much more valuable.

The same principle applies to Cleveland’s receiving statistics.

Jeudy’s 63 yards and Akins’ 60 yards are respectable individual totals. But because Cleveland scored only 10 points and struggled to run the ball, the receiving production did not translate into a competitive offensive result.

This is why good player-stat analysis should always connect individual numbers to team efficiency.

What the Defensive Statistics Reveal

The defensive numbers also require context.

Baltimore recorded 54 tackles compared with Cleveland’s 59. Yet Baltimore’s defense had the more influential statistical performance.

Why?

Because the Ravens created:

• Two interceptions
• One defensive touchdown
• Two sacks
• Three tackles for loss
• Six pass defenses
• Three quarterback hits

Cleveland had:

• Zero interceptions
• Zero sacks
• Three tackles for loss
• Four pass defenses
• Five quarterback hits

The comparison demonstrates why total tackles should not be treated as a standalone measure of defensive effectiveness.

Negative plays and turnovers tend to have a much greater effect on possession and scoring opportunities.

Conclusion

The cleveland browns vs baltimore ravens match player stats from January 5, 2025 provide a detailed explanation for Baltimore’s 35-10 victory.

Derrick Henry was the dominant rushing force with 138 yards and two touchdowns, while Lamar Jackson added 217 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, no interceptions, and 63 rushing yards. Baltimore’s offense combined 220 rushing yards with 217 passing yards, creating a balanced attack that Cleveland struggled to contain.

The Browns had several useful individual performances, particularly from Jerry Jeudy and Jordan Akins in the passing game. However, their 56 rushing yards, two interceptions, and lack of defensive sacks made it difficult to sustain pressure on Baltimore.

The defensive comparison was equally revealing. Baltimore produced two interceptions, including Nate Wiggins’ 26-yard interception return for a touchdown, while Cleveland finished without an interception or sack. The Ravens also avoided turnovers themselves.

Ultimately, the statistics show that the game was decided less by one isolated performance and more by Baltimore’s superiority in rushing efficiency, ball security, defensive playmaking, and touchdown production. Those categories provide the clearest statistical explanation for the 25-point final margin.
