          BALTIMORE -- With the Baltimore Ravens' playoff hopes officially in trouble after Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns, the list of players trending up and down can get lopsided.

          UP

          RB Justin Forsett: He kept the Ravens' offense clicking in the fourth quarter, rushing for 71 yards and adding a 32-yard reception. But he rolled his ankle and couldn't play after that, which was a major reason why Baltimore went three-and-out in its only overtime possession.

          PR-KR Jeremy Ross: Promoted from the practice squad on Saturday, Ross averaged 10.5 yards on punt returns and 27.2 yards on kickoffs. His 17-yard punt return set up a 43-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.

          DOWN

          WR Kamar Aiken: The Ravens didn't miss injured Steve Smith early because Aiken caught three passes for 73 yards in the first quarter. But he disappeared after that. He managed only one reception for five yards over the last three quarters.

          WR Marlon Brown: His disappointing season continued with another forgettable performance. Starting in place of the injured Smith, Brown caught one pass for no yards despite being targeted four times.

          LB C.J. Mosley: In one of the worst games of his young career, Mosley was out of position and seemed to be trailing Browns running backs in the passing game all day. Mosley worked hard to improve his coverage skills this summer, but the Cleveland backs -- Duke Johnson and Isaiah Crowell -- combined for eight catches for 93 yards.

          SS Will Hill: In the fourth quarter, Hill let Taylor Gabriel run past him on that 56-yard catch and then mistimed his leap on that crazy catch by Browns tight end Gary Barnidge. Hill was only one of the many problems in the Baltimore secondary Sunday.
