Cleveland Browns survive fightback to beat Pittsburgh Steelers
Andre Szmyt landed a 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining to give the Cleveland Browns a nervy 27-24 win over divisional rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers had steered the Steelers back from 21-7 down to level inside the last two minutes, but was unable to produce a last-ditch response to Szmyt's winning kick.
In a thrilling finish, the Cleveland Browns secured a narrow 27-24 victory over their divisional rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Andre Szmyt's 56-yard field goal with just 10 seconds left on the clock proved to be the game-winner for Cleveland. Earlier, Aaron Rodgers had steered the Steelers back from a 21-7 deficit to make it a level contest inside the final two minutes.
However, he failed to secure a last-minute response to Szmyt's winning kick. Rodgers connected with Roman Wilson from 12 yards out for the opening touchdown after a lengthy drive, but the Browns answered with three unanswered touchdowns in the second quarter. Chris Boswell's 31-yard field goal narrowed the gap to 21-10, which stood until Rodgers connected with Darnell Washington for another touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Szmyt added three points from 44 yards, but Rodgers sealed the deal with a two-point conversion to close out a late drive.
