Szmyt gets a second chance and kicks Browns past Ravens 13-10
Cleveland rallies from 10-0 down, then wins on an untimed field goal after Baltimore is flagged offside.

Andre Szmyt's first attempt to win Sunday's game was blocked. Baltimore's offside penalty gave him another try, and the Browns' kicker used the untimed down to finish a 13-10 comeback victory from 37 yards.
Cleveland trailed 10-0 at halftime and had struggled to move the ball for most of the afternoon. A fourth-quarter Derrick Henry fumble gave the Browns a short field for the tying touchdown, then Deshaun Watson found Jerry Jeudy for 33 yards on the final drive to arrange Szmyt's second chance.
Both teams finished the day 4-2. The Browns won despite producing only 237 yards of offense, two more than Baltimore, and being held scoreless through the first half.

Baltimore's early lead disappears
Tyler Huntley, starting again with Lamar Jackson sidelined by an ankle injury, found rookie Josh Cuevas for a 2-yard touchdown on Baltimore's opening possession. The Ravens' official video shows the misdirection that produced Cuevas' first career touchdown:
Tyler Loop added a 34-yard field goal on the next drive. Baltimore then went scoreless on its final nine possessions, allowing Cleveland's defense to keep a stalled offense within reach.
Watson completed only three of nine passes for 24 yards in the first half. The Browns had 46 total yards and three first downs at the break. Baltimore's pressure remained a problem, with the Ravens finishing with five sacks.
Trey Hendrickson contributed one of those sacks in his return from a finger procedure, as shown in Baltimore's official clip:
Szmyt's 48-yard field goal in the third quarter brought Cleveland within 10-3. Loop missed from 49 yards early in the fourth, leaving the Browns one touchdown away rather than facing another two-score deficit.
Schwesinger gives Cleveland its opening
Carson Schwesinger forced Henry to fumble, and Tyson Campbell recovered at the Baltimore 35. The Browns used seven plays to tie it, with Audric Estime scoring from two yards out with 8:33 left.
Estime had joined Cleveland from Minnesota's practice squad during the week. He carried nine times for 19 yards with starter Quinshon Judkins unavailable because of an ankle injury.
Szmyt later missed a 48-yard attempt, but Baltimore failed to get a first down on either of its final two possessions. Cleveland took over at its 20 with 1:59 remaining, and Watson moved the Browns into range with a drive that included Jeudy's 33-yard gain.
Baltimore blocked the initial 42-yard attempt, but the offside call erased the play and moved the ball five yards closer. Szmyt converted the 37-yarder with no time remaining.
Watson finished 16 of 26 for 164 yards. Huntley was 19 of 31 for 165 yards and a touchdown, while Henry managed 58 yards on 17 carries. Cleveland visits Tennessee next Sunday; Baltimore hosts Cincinnati.
