Clifton Brown: Ravens Have 'Bigger Problem' If Roethlisberger Plays

Clifton Brown of CSN joined Rob and Ken to talk about the Ravens taking on the Steelers on this coming Sunday and what to expect from the team after the bye week.

The Ravens assume that Ben Roethlisberger will play on Sunday and that presents a "bigger problem" than not for the struggling Ravens.  The team will have to play a lot better with a tougher schedule moving forward. But Clifton Brown believes the Ravens "can" turn it around, but there's reason to be concerned with the health of the offensive line which has ultimately affected the outcome of the last few games.

The challenge with Joe Flacco is that "we know how tough he is, both mentally and physically, there's not question about that. But he needs to overcome whatever obstacles might be holding him back to lift his game, because we know he's capable of playing better than he is this season."

There are five Ravens that Brown believes will be under pressure to perform in the second half of the season: Dennis Pitta, Joe Flacco, Breshad Perriman, Zadarius smith and Jimmy Smith.

Tune in to hear more about those players below:
