Are The Browns For Real? 3 Takeaways From Browns' Dramatic Win vs. Steelers

Under first-year leader Todd Monken, the Cleveland franchise has climbed into the top spot of the AFC North following a thrilling 27-24 victory against Pittsburgh on Thursday evening. Andre Szmyt delivered the deciding points by booting a 56-yard field goal with only ten seconds remaining on the clock.

The outcome elevates Cleveland to a 3-1 record, marking a massive turnaround for a roster that managed just eight total victories across the previous two campaigns. Quarterback Deshaun Watson spearheaded the effort by completing 24 of 33 passes for 268 yards, including one touchdown pass and a single interception.

His mobility and agility continually disrupted the opposing pass rush throughout the contest. On the opposing sideline, veteran signal-caller Aaron Rodgers nearly orchestrated a successful fourth-quarter comeback for the visitors, narrowing a 21-10 deficit by connecting with targets like DK Metcalf and throwing a touchdown strike to Darnell Washington, alongside a gutsy quarterback sneak for a two-point conversion.
