The central finish came at the buzzer. With the Browns trailing late in the fourth quarter after falling behind early, kicker Andre Szmyt converted a 37-yard field goal with no time remaining to lift Cleveland over the Ravens, 13-10.

Cleveland’s late drive was built around QB Deshaun Watson’s execution after the game tightened. At the two-minute warning with the score knotted at 10-10, Watson connected with WR Jerry Jeudy for a 33-yard gain that moved the offense into field-goal range, setting up a potential walk-off opportunity.

The decisive moment arrived after a short sequence that brought Szmyt onto the field with two seconds left. According to the Browns’ official recap, Szmyt drilled the winning kick after previously missing a snap on his prior attempt streak, then watched Cleveland rush to celebrate the final, walk-off score.

The comeback was not just about the final kick. The Browns also found the end zone to tie the game when RB Audric Estimé, signed earlier in the week after time on the Vikings’ practice squad, scored from two yards out midway through the fourth quarter, following a fumble recovery that gave Cleveland the ball on the Ravens’ 35-yard line.

Defensively, Cleveland limited Baltimore after the early punches. The recap credits the Browns for shutting down the Ravens’ offense for the rest of the game after the first two drives produced early points, including key stops that forced Baltimore into a longer field-goal attempt and a late-game sequence where LB Carson Schwesinger forced a fumble recovered by CB Tyson Campbell.

Why It Matters

For the AFC North standings picture, Cleveland’s win moved it into first place while keeping the division race in tight focus.
Another fourth-quarter finish reinforces Cleveland’s ability to generate scoring chances late, not just defend leads.
The game also highlighted the swing between early offensive struggles and second-half stability, with Baltimore limited after early drives.
A timely special-teams outcome by Szmyt turned a late tie into a decisive final margin.
