Gene Steratore and the seven-man crew of regular union officials carrying the whistles and flags in Baltimore will do their best to make sure that you don't hear any chants of expletives at M&T Bank Stadium tonight.

While the returning officials are the main story heading into this "Thursday Night Football" matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns they shouldn't be talked about too much after the game. At least, that's the plan. We'll see if they are rusty after being locked out by the league for so long.

Turning our attention back to the field (wow, that's a nice change of pace after the past few days), the Browns head into Baltimore in search of their first win of the season, while the Ravens look to build on their momentum after beating the New England Patriots four nights ago.

Joe Flacco and the Ravens' offense have been extremely prolific, scoring over 23 points in each game this season while averaging the third most passing yards per game in the league. Cleveland, on the other hand, is led by rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden and rookie running back Trent Richardson and ranks near the bottom of the NFL in almost every statistical category.

Will the Ravens lack or rest level the playing field? Can Cleveland gets it first win of the season?
