The Ravens employed some trickery during their 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
During the first quarter, Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle had tight end Josh Cuevas line up at the left guard position. However, in order to make him an eligible receiver, they made sure he did not line up at the line of scrimmage.
The decision threw the Browns off guard because Cuevas was able to run his route all alone, giving quarterback Tyler Huntley a wide-open receiver to throw to and a 29-yard completion.

Because Cuevas was off the line of scrimmage, he was eligible to go downfield.

Sunday was a big day for Cuevas, who had just three catches all season coming into the game against the Browns.
He finished the game with four catches for 44 yards and a touchdown reception.
Cuevas had been left wide open in the end zone in the first quarter for the game’s opening score.
However, the Ravens let a double-digit lead slip away as the Browns rallied to win on Sunday afternoon in Cleveland.
Deshaun Watson orchestrated a final drive that included a 33-yard pass to Jerry Jeudy to set up Andre Szmyt’s 37-yard field goal to win the game.
“Our guys are a scrappy group and they played their rear ends off for 60 minutes,” Browns coach Todd Monken said after the victory. “And that will always give you a chance to win.”
Inside the Ravens locker room, the mood was a bit different as they had to contemplate letting a win slip through their fingers.
“I think that’s one we definitely should have won,” Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said. “In this league, you let a team in the game, especially at home, this division you let a team stay around they’re going to find momentum. Defense, we have to go out there and get some stops to ice the game at the end, but it’s about playing complementary football.”
