OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) - There's really nothing eye-catching about the Baltimore Ravens this season - except their record.

Baltimore's inconsistent offense and defensive deficiencies were on full display Sunday in Cleveland, yet the Ravens emerged with another lackluster victory to improve to 6-2 and remain atop the AFC North.

At the midpoint in its season, Baltimore owns the second-best record in the conference and appears on course to reach the playoffs in a fifth straight year.

But coach John Harbaugh said Monday, ``By the same token, we're not the team that we need to be. We need to be better.''

The second half of the season offers a challenging schedule that begins Sunday at home against Oakland, includes two games with Pittsburgh and features home matchups with the New York Giants and Denver Broncos.
