Browns-Ravens Final Score: Cleveland Rallies to Beat Baltimore in Overtime, 33-30

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

What a game!

After a disappointing start with the Cleveland Browns trailing at the end of the first quarter by a score of 14-3, the offense came alive. Down 21-9 late in the third quarter, QB Josh McCown scrambled for a 10-yard touchdown to make it a 21-16 game. At the start of the fourth quarter, McCown lobbed a prayer up to TE Gary Barnidge in the front corner of the end zone, and Barnidge somehow caught the ball with his feet! After missing the two-point try, the Browns led 22-21.

The Ravens re-took the lead mid-way through the fourth quarter, going up 27-22. McCown led the offense right back down the field, with RB Isaiah Crowell's 22-yard catch-and-run score and two-point conversion to WR Andrew Hawkins giving the Browns a 30-27 lead. The Ravens rallied at the end of regulation, kicking a field goal to tie the game at 30-30 and send the game to overtime.

In overtime, Cleveland's defense finally came through, forcing a three-and-out. McCown's hot hand continued, and then the running game helped lead the Browns into field goal range. K Travis Coons drilled the chip shot 30-yard field goal to win the game and send the Browns to 2-3 and the Ravens to 1-4.
