Andre Szmyt kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired to give the Cleveland Browns a 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
The win improved Cleveland to 5-2, a record the franchise has reached only once since its 1999 return and for the first time since 2020. The Browns overcame a 14-point first-quarter deficit to secure their fifth game-winning drive of the season, the most in the league.
Deshaun Watson passed for 308 yards, his first 300-yard performance with Cleveland. The offense generated season highs of 491 total yards and 183 rushing yards. Rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion set a career mark with 152 scrimmage yards. Running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson both returned from injury.
Despite the record, Cleveland carries a minus-13 point differential, the second lowest by any 5-2 or better team in the past decade. The offense averages 19 points per game, fifth fewest in the league. ESPN Analytics gives the Browns a 26.8 percent chance to reach the postseason and 5.5 percent to win the AFC North, the lowest odds in the division.
Cleveland next travels to Pittsburgh for a 1 p.m. ET matchup on CBS. The Browns defeated the Steelers 27-24 in Week 4 but have not earned a regular-season victory in Pittsburgh since October 2003, a streak of 22 losses.
