Cleveland Browns spark trash talk war with Ravens before Week 2 matchup
The Cleveland Browns are heading to Baltimore this weekend to take on the Ravens and the trash talk is already heating up.
AFC North rivals Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens will face off this Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. Both teams suffered one-point losses in their season openers - the Ravens to the Buffalo Bills, 41-40, and the Browns to the Cincinnati Bengals, 17-16.
Now, they’re both hoping to bounce back and avoid a 2-0 slump. And the smack talk has begun.
Yikes: Browns safety Grant Delpit was asked how hard it is to take down and tackle Derrick Henry:

Derrick Henry responds after Browns safety claims he’s “not hard” to tackle
Browns safety Grant Delpit reignited his rivalry with Ravens running back Derrick Henry, saying it’s “not hard” to tackle the 6′3″, 252-pound star. Delpit famously hit Henry hard last season and followed it with a “too small” celebration.

Henry, who led the NFL in Week 1 with 169 rushing yards, responded by noting he heard the comment and added simply, “We’ll see on Sunday.”
The Browns’ defense has limited Henry in recent matchups, holding him under 75 rushing yards in two of their last three meetings since Jim Schwartz took over as defensive coordinator.
Meanwhile, Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy also stirred things up, dismissing Baltimore’s first-rounder-heavy secondary as presenting “no challenges.” Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton brushed off the trash talk, saying it wouldn’t affect his effort level.
