The Baltimore Ravens (3-7) will play their first match in eight years without their trusted quarterback Joe Flacco when they travel to the Cleveland Browns (2-8), live on Sky Sports 1 at 1.15am.

Flacco suffered serious knee ligament damage in the latter stages of the 16-13 win over St. Louis.

Veteran Matt Schaub is the first Baltimore player to start at quarterback instead of Flacco since Troy Smith in 2007.

More off-field problems for Johnny Manziel have dominated the Brown's pre-game build-up and the controversial quarterback has been relegated to third-string as Cleveland seek a response to their 30-9 defeat by the Steelers.

Browns coach Mike Pettine said he hasn't decided if Manziel will be active, but he was demoted when a video surfaced of him partying during Cleveland's bye week in Texas.

Manziel had been named Cleveland's starter for the final six games before his off-field behaviour got him benched.

Josh McCown, who missed the Browns' past two games with injured ribs, will start against the Ravens.
