Quick Summary

During an NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns, Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle used unconventional tactics with tight end Josh Cuevas lining up in a non-eligible position before becoming eligible, leading to a 29-yard pass completion. Despite this trickery and Cuevas' four catches for 44 yards including a touchdown, the Ravens lost 13-10 when Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson orchestrated a final drive culminating in Andre Szmyt’s game-winning field goal. The article highlights the strategic move by the Ravens but emphasizes how it ultimately did not secure them the win.

Story summary

On October 18, 2026, Deshaun Watson led the Cleveland Browns to an improbable 13-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in a game that featured strategic trick plays by both teams. Despite starting quarterback Lamar Jackson being out with an ankle injury, the Ravens took an early lead but were ultimately overtaken late in the fourth quarter when Tyson Campbell recovered a fumble from Derrick Henry at the Baltimore 35-yard line. The Browns' victory came down to Watson's final drive, which ended with a decisive 37-yard field goal by Andre Szmyt, securing the win for Cleveland (4-2) and tying them with Baltimore atop the AFC North. Ravens tight end Josh Cuevas made an unexpected impact with trick play formations, catching four passes for 44 yards and scoring a touchdown, but it wasn't enough to stop Cleveland's comeback.
