Henry Says Monken Privately Urges Browns to Beat Ravens

Todd Monken will face the Baltimore Ravens for the first time as Cleveland’s head coach after serving three seasons as the team’s offensive coordinator. Derrick Henry says Monken has been talking to the Browns privately about wanting to beat Baltimore, while Monken has played down the personal angle, calling it business and expressing respect for his former players. Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey expects Monken to be highly motivated, though other Baltimore players have urged their teammates to focus on the game rather than the reunion. The matchup follows Cleveland’s loss to the New York Jets, in which Monken said the Browns had yet to play a clean game; the team gave up eight sacks, and running back Quinshon Judkins was questionable with an ankle injury.
