Story summary

On October 16, 2026, the Cleveland Browns rallied to defeat the Baltimore Ravens in a thrilling 13-10 victory. The Browns' comeback was spearheaded by quarterback Deshaun Watson, who connected with Jerry Jeudy for a crucial 33-yard pass that set up Andre Szmyt's winning 37-yard field goal as time expired. Despite being without their injured star quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Ravens dominated much of the game but were undone by a pivotal fumble recovery by Cleveland’s Tyson Campbell at the Baltimore 35-yard line in the fourth quarter. This turnover allowed the Browns to tie the game and ultimately clinch victory with Szmyt's successful field goal attempt after an initial blocked kick was nullified due to a Ravens penalty. The win pushed both teams' records to 4-2, keeping them tied atop the AFC North division standings.

🔮 It was an exciting finish to a game that often felt like a slog in the brilliant fall sunshine, with one of the biggest pops from the crowd coming in the fourth quarter when it was encouraged to support baseball’s Cleveland Guardians, who were set to host Tampa Bay in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series about a mile south.
🔮 Graham’s preference would have been to stay in the box.
🔮 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike McCarthy spent the weekend after Pittsburgh’s uneven performance in a Thursday night loss to Cleveland poring over tape to find areas where the Steelers could improve.
🔮 In the frantic aftermath, the longest-tenured coach in Pitt history encouraged AP Top 25 voters to “wake your (butts) up,” just as Narduzzi promised ACC commissioner Jim Phillips he would after the Panthers improved to 5-0.
🔮 The four-time NFL MVP urged anyone who would listen to avoid being lured onto the emotional roller coaster that often can be a trap during a 17-game season.
🔮 Cincinnati later gifted the Steelers a field goal when punt returner Ke’Shawn Williams let the ball smack off his facemask.
🔮 Yes, there were days — particularly during a two-month stretch from mid-May to mid-July — in which the towering 24-year-old went winless.
🔮 Jones, who returned from Tommy John surgery in late May, tied a season high with nine strikeouts in seven innings and improved to 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA in four starts in September.
🔮 Any significant dropoff by one of their high-priced stars could put them in a tight spot as they try to prove last year’s success was not a last stand for Crosby and company.
🔮 The four-time MVP was talking about his reaction to one specific play, though it might as well double for where the Steelers (1-1) find themselves through the first two weeks of Rodgers’ final season, one he might struggle to make through intact if the protection in front of him doesn’t improve quickly.

Narrative
