Cleveland Browns vs. Panthers Week 3: Winners and losers from a big day

The Cleveland Browns secured a narrow 21-18 triumph over the Carolina Panthers at Huntington Bank Field, pulling them into a tie for the top spot in the AFC North ahead of a Thursday night matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Defensive standout Mason Graham disrupted the Carolina attack with a pair of sacks and three tackles for loss, limiting an opponent that had been averaging 35.5 points per contest to just 18.

On the offensive side, tight end Harold Fannin Jr. reeled in seven catches for 51 yards, including a late score in the opening half and the game-winning touchdown with 1:48 left on the clock.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson orchestrated the decisive drive with key plays under pressure, while Quinshon Judkins contributed 70 rushing yards to pace the ground game, Andre Szmyt extended his streak of consecutive successful field goals, and Corey Bojorquez pinned the opposition deep with three punts inside the 20.
