Kevin Cowherd Ravens 27, Browns 14 The Ravens have had two weeks to figure out why their offense stinks on the road. Joe Flacco, Ray Rice and company need to put some points on the board early to get their confidence back, and playing the Browns should help. In fact, playing the Browns ALWAYS helps. Edward Lee Ravens 21, Browns 17 The Browns are improving and won't back down from challenging the Ravens. But the Ravens will persevere if they return to their roots and give Ray Rice the ball early and often.

Weyman D. Swagger, a Baltimore Sun news photographer who became the paper's first photo editor, died of cancer Wednesday at his Halethorpe home. He was 66. During his 47 years at the paper, he took thousands of photos. He was shot at while taking photos during the 1968 city riots, chronicled the 1976 visit of the Tall Ships to the harbor and photographed the 1977 inauguration of President Jimmy Carter. Colleagues admired his portrait work. Born in Beverly, W.Va., Mr. Swagger wrote of growing up on a farm where there was no electricity or telephone.
