Browns Take AFC North Lead With Buzzer-Beating Win Over Titans
The late field goal gives Cleveland the division tiebreaker over Pittsburgh and sets a decisive rematch at Acrisure Stadium on Nov. 1.
Overview
- Cleveland rallied from a 14-0 deficit and won on a last-second field goal, improving to 5-2 and vaulting into first place in the AFC North after Sunday’s games.
- The Browns and Steelers share the same overall record, but Cleveland holds a better AFC North record and the head-to-head tiebreaker from their earlier meeting.
- Cincinnati crushed Baltimore 35-13 to move into third place in the division while Tennessee dropped to 1-6 after the loss.
- The Browns’ jump pushes them into the top three of the AFC playoff picture behind the Chiefs and Bills and changes short-term seeding math for multiple teams.
- Pittsburgh and Cleveland meet again at 1 p.m. ET on Nov. 1 at Acrisure Stadium with control of the AFC North and potential playoff seeding on the line, and a Cleveland sweep of Pittsburgh would be the team’s first since 1988.
