halloween candy. bullies make it again. ravens over the browns, 24-17. the ravens have held their last two opponents to fewer than 20 points. still, the ravens lost each of those games. i think they'll hold cleveland to about 13 points and score enough this time and beat the browns, 20-13. >> everybody is going that way, mark. we like it. a reminder, you can see the ravens battle the browns this sunday, 4:15, live here on wjz. still ahead on eyewitness news at 5:00. healthcare.gov. headaches. problems persist for those trying to sign up. why the number of people who need coverage could grow by the millions. i'm alex demetrick. coming up, final arguments in the stent doctor lawsuit. now, the jury will set the damages. that story as eyewitness news continues. the city's only dental program for high schoolers marks a major milestone. coming up, how these students are making the

the question, did he lose an interest in maryland live. what was the amount he lost? not the lawyers throwing out but the jury's determination? and dr. midei's negligence must have been the cause for the claim. >> some big numbers have been thrown around. $50 million to $150 million in losses suffered by dr. weinberg. >> we will see then, alex. thank you. besides dr. midee, the former owners of st. joseph's medical center are also named in the lawsuit. let's check on the roads with kristy breslin at wjz traffic control. i know there were some accidents around the area at different times during the day. and we were wondering if that is still affecting traffic? >> absolutely. and 95 has been a big problem this afternoon. a couple of accidents still lingering out there. if you're traveling southbound 95, accident at the aberdeen exit, route 22.
