The Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-24 Thursday night at Huntington Bank Field, and Andre Szmyt's field goal with 10 seconds left decided it. Pittsburgh erased a 14-point hole to tie the game, then watched Cleveland answer in the final 2 minutes.

The Steelers will point to one missed chance. A failed two-point try early in the fourth quarter meant their late touchdown only tied the game instead of putting them ahead.

How It Happened

Pittsburgh scored first. Aaron Rodgers found Roman Wilson for a 12-yard touchdown with 2:59 left in the first quarter, and Chris Boswell's kick made it 7-0.

Cleveland took over the second quarter with three straight touchdowns. Jaleel McLaughlin tied it on a 28-yard run, Quinshon Judkins added a 2-yard run, and Deshaun Watson hit Harold Fannin Jr. for a 2-yard score with 1:22 left to make it 21-7.

Boswell trimmed the gap with a 31-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in the half. Neither team scored in the third quarter, so Cleveland carried a 21-10 lead into the fourth.

Rodgers opened the comeback with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Washington at 10:10, but the two-point pass failed. Szmyt pushed the lead back to 8 with a 44-yard field goal at 6:37.

Rodgers then hit Pat Freiermuth from 3 yards out with 1:42 left and ran in the two-point conversion himself to tie it at 24. Cleveland had the last word, as Szmyt drilled the game-winner from 56 yards with 10 seconds on the clock.

The Steelers were sacked 5 times for 30 yards and converted just 4 of 13 third downs. Cleveland was cleaner through the air, completing 24 of 33 passes, and scored touchdowns on both of its red zone trips.

The Browns won despite their own mistakes. They were flagged 14 times for 88 yards, and Pittsburgh picked up 5 first downs by penalty, but the turnover battle finished even at 2 apiece.

Key Performers

Andre Szmyt, CLE: FG – 44 YDS, 56 YDS; 3 extra points
Aaron Rodgers, PIT: 3 TD passes (Wilson 12 YDS, Washington 21 YDS, Freiermuth 3 YDS); 1 two-point run
Cleveland rushing: 27 ATT, 112 YDS, 2 TD (McLaughlin 28 YDS, Judkins 2 YDS)
Cleveland passing: 24-33, 260 net YDS, 1-1 (TD-INT)
Pittsburgh passing: 22-40, 269 net YDS, 3-2 (TD-INT)

Szmyt accounted for 9 of Cleveland's 27 points, including the two kicks that held off the rally. Rodgers had a hand in every Pittsburgh touchdown, but after the opening score the Steelers did not reach the end zone again until the fourth quarter.

What It Means

Cleveland moves to 3-1 and stays perfect at home at 2-0. The Browns let a fourth-quarter lead slip away and still found a way to close.

Pittsburgh falls to 2-2, and the split is stark: 2-0 at home, 0-2 on the road. The Steelers have yet to win away from home, and Thursday's loss came after they had already done the hard part of erasing a two-score deficit.

For the Steelers, the road problem is now the story of their season.
