Jameis Winston, Browns stun Ravens with game-winning touchdown bomb in 1st game since Deshaun Watson injury
The Jameis Winston era in Cleveland is off to an excellent start.
The Browns bottled up the scorching Ravens and tallied a season-high point tally in a 29-24 upset of Baltimore on Sunday. The win was just the second of the season for the Browns and came against a Ravens team that entered Sunday tied for the second-best record in the AFC.
Cleveland capped the game on offense with a 38-yard touchdown pass from Winston to Cedric Tillman with 59 seconds remaining.
One play before the touchdown pass, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton dropped a would-be interception that hit him in the hands and would have all but secured a victory for Baltimore.
The game for Winston was his first as a starter for Cleveland, a week after starter Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear. Winston led the Browns to a second-half lead with a pair of third-quarter touchdown drives before throwing the game-winning touchdown in the final minute of regulation.
Winston finished the day completing 27 off 41 yards for 334 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. A Browns offense that entered the day averaging an NFL-worst 253.9 yards per game posted 401 yards of total offense.
Cleveland held a 20-17 fourth-quarter lead and opted to attempt a 48-yard field goal rather than go for it on fourth-and-3 with 4:55 remaining. Dustin Hopkins was successful on his attempt to extend the lead to 23-17.
The Ravens responded with a six-play 91-yard drive that ended with a two-yard Derrick Henry touchdown run, leaving 2:19 for Cleveland to respond. The Browns countered with a a 69-yard touchdown drive to secure the win.
