Deshaun Watson led a late comeback as the Cleveland Browns defeated the Baltimore Ravens 13-10 on Sunday in Cleveland. Watson’s 33-yard connection with Jerry Jeudy set up a game-winning 37-yard field goal by Andre Szmyt on the final snap. The Browns relied heavily on their defense and key plays in the closing moments to secure the victory, improving to 4-2 under first-year head coach Todd Monken, who previously served as the Ravens’ offensive coordinator.
Watson finished with 16 completions on 26 attempts for 164 yards. The Ravens, also 4-2, had a chance to win on a final drive when they blocked Szmyt’s first field goal attempt, but an offside penalty nullified the block, giving Cleveland a second opportunity. Szmyt’s successful second kick tied the Browns with the Ravens atop the AFC North. Baltimore played without injured quarterback Lamar Jackson and appeared to control most of the game, but a pivotal forced fumble by Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger, recovered by defensive back Tyson Campbell, shifted momentum.
