Browns survive late comeback to defeat Steelers

In a nail-biting finale at Huntington Bank Field, the Cleveland Browns secured a 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, overcoming a late comeback from the home team. With just 10 seconds left on the clock, kick returner Andre Szmyt connected on a 56-yard field goal, contributing to his career-best performance. Earlier, safety Grant Delpit had intercepted a pass, contributing to the Browns' momentum.

The Browns took control of the game with a 21-10 halftime lead, thanks to strong performances from their offense. Despite a Steelers rally in the final quarter, led by Aaron Rodgers' touchdown passes and a quarterback sneak, the Browns' Deshaun Watson orchestrated a key 36-yard drive to set up Szmyt's game-winning kick. The Steelers, who led 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, saw their lead shrink to 24-21 by halftime.

After a scoreless third quarter, Steelers' wide receiver Jaylen Warren scored a touchdown, but a final 44-yard field goal from Szmyt sealed the Browns' win. This victory marked the Browns' first consecutive wins over the Steelers since 2014 and positioned them at the top of the AFC North division.
