Andre Szmyt's 56-yard field goal secured a 27-24 victory for the Cleveland Browns over the Pittsburgh Steelers, placing them atop the AFC North.

  • Andre Szmyt kicked a career-best 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining.
  • The Cleveland Browns defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-24.
  • The Browns now lead the AFC North division for the first time since November 2014.

The Cleveland Browns clinched a dramatic 27-24 victory over divisional rivals Pittsburgh Steelers, thanks to a match-winning 56-yard field goal from Andre Szmyt with just 10 seconds left on the clock. Szmyt's career-best kick, followed by a late interception from safety Grant Delpit, secured the Browns' third consecutive win.

The hosts held a 21-10 lead at the end of the third quarter, but the Steelers mounted a comeback. Aaron Rodgers connected with tight end Pat Freiermuth for a touchdown and a two-point conversion, levelling the scores with one minute and 42 seconds remaining. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson then led his team 36 yards over seven plays to set up Szmyt's decisive kick.

Why this matters: The victory places the Cleveland Browns at the top of the AFC North division for the first time in nearly 12 years.
