The Baltimore Ravens entered Week 4 with many projecting them to defeat the Cleveland Browns and maintain their AFC North supremacy. That didn't turn out to be the case whatsoever, as the Ravens defense surrendered 530 yards in their 40-25 loss on Sunday, waking the Browns up in the process.

Frustrations not only exploded on the field, but off of it as well.

According to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo, Ravens safety Earl Thomas, not one to take things lying down, got into a heated argument with defensive tackle Brandon Williams over the latter being inactive for Sunday's game.

A source told Garafolo that Thomas entered the training room where Williams was getting dressed and preparing to leave M&T Bank Stadium. The argument didn't escalate, as players and members of the Ravens' staff intervened.

Williams looked to be on pace to play during the week, but was diagnosed with a knee injury on the team's injury report on Saturday. After being limited in pregame workouts, the Ravens opted to sit Williams for the game.

The tackle's absence was felt on Sunday, as Browns running back Nick Chubb rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. Overall, Cleveland accumulated 193 ground yards and four scores on 29 carries.

Thomas, on the other hand, was criticized for giving up on chasing Chubb during his 88-yard rushing touchdown.

Tempers flared after losing back-to-back games, but the Baltimore Ravens will look to bounce back next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
