The Baltimore Ravens have no shortage of motivation heading into Saturday’s regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns, having a chance to clinch the AFC North with a win and all. However, there’s another powerful motivating factor for them: revenge.

Back in Week 8, these two teams met in Cleveland while heading in complete opposite directions. The Ravens had won five-straight while the Browns had lost five-straight, leading many to assume the game would be a complete blowout.

It wasn’t. In fact, the Browns pulled off a stunning 29-24 upset in front of the home crowd, giving them their second of just three wins this season. Jameis Winston tore the Ravens’ defense apart with 334 yards and three touchdowns in his first start as a Brown, though Baltimore’s defense did itself no favors with many, many mistakes.

For this game in front of the home crowd, the Ravens would love nothing more than to show how far they’ve come since that gut-wrenching defeat.

“That’s definitely something on the forefront of everyone’s mind, knowing that we didn’t play the way we wanted to play during that game, but I feel like we have a totally different team than we were then, so it’s about showing exactly who we are, keep building on our momentum, and we have to keep taking it to them,” linebacker Roquan Smith told reporters Wednesday. “We have to defend our turf by any means, but we know it’s not going to be an easy one.

“These guys are fighting for their livelihoods. They have jobs. They have families they have to take care of, so we know it’s not going to be anything light, but we’re preparing for whatever.”

Smith brings up a good point about the dichotomy between the two teams. The Ravens are the biggest favorites of this NFL season and have everything to play for, while the Browns have seemingly been looking to the offseason for a while now.

Despite that, Cleveland’s players still want to go out there and give it their all each and every week, and Baltimore expects nothing less.

“Personally, I don’t really look into what people say as far as, ‘Oh, we should win this,’ or ‘We should win that,’” Smith said. “If it was based on that, the game wouldn’t be played. The game is played for a reason. Those guys are in the NFL. Those guys have a family to feed, kids at home [and] wives at home, so they’re going to put it all on the line and play for an opportunity for them to have a job next season.

“That’s why I know how I’d be if I was in that type of position, and I know guys on that side of the ball that will be the same exact way. That’s what it is. [There is] nothing else about that.”

The LA Clippers hired Ty Lue as their head coach in the 2020 offseason. Since then, the Clippers have a 203-148 record and three playoff appearances, including a Western Conference Finals appearance in his debut season.

Lue has a strong coaching resume throughout his young career, including three consecutive Finals appearances and one NBA championship through his first three seasons as a head coach. His 2016 championship run with the Cleveland Cavaliers will forever be etched into NBA history, leading the franchise to a 3-1 Finals comeback and their first title.

While Lue certainly did his job as head coach, he was completely overshadowed by the heroic efforts of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. Lue recently joined The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis to talk about his 2016 Finals run, telling an absurd story about James and the Cavs squad on their way to the first-ever 3-1 NBA Finals comeback.

“What people don’t understand is after the first two games, I didn’t show the film because sometimes LeBron would be upset, and he’d be in the back rolling his eyes,” Lue said. “So I was like, I’m going to stay positive. Everything we did [in practice], we only shot half-court shots, we did a lot of different stuff. Then, when we won Game 3, that’s the game where I showed all of our mistakes, what we needed to get better at. When you win a game, it’s easier to kind of show stuff. So they came back and won Game 4, I didn’t show any film.”

While Lue’s coaching strategy after they went down 2-0 in the series is certainly unconventional, it seemed to be the correct approach. James not appreciating the film session is a surprise with everything typically told about him, but he averaged 33.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.4 steals, and 2.8 blocks in Games 3-7 so whatever they did obviously worked.
