The Browns were unable to answer, but they did convert on a beautiful 21-yard touchdown on 3rd-and-16. It was a nice makeup play between Mayfield and Higgins.

Denzel Ward got his third interception of the young season, taking points off the board.

Unfortunately, a holding penalty on tackle Chris Hubbard doomed the ensuing drive.

Baker Mayfield led the Browns on a six-play drive, again orchestrating a great two-minute offense. He hit Rashard Higgins for a 19-yard touchdown. A missed extra point out of Greg Joseph followed and the lead stays at 6-3.

Baltimore then moved the ball into field goal range just before the half, but the special teams made a play. Again, it was rookie corner Denzel Ward, who got a hand on Justin Tucker’s kick. 6-3, Cleveland at the half — and they get the ball to start the third.

After a failed drive to start the second half, the Browns defense once again stepped up and got them the ball — this time via a fumble forced by Schobert and recovered by Trevon Coley. That led to a 30-yard field goal from Greg Joseph, as they went up 9-3.

Baltimore pulled within three on a short field goal. That came after Denzel Ward broke up a pass intended for Michael Crabtree in the end zone. 9-6, Cleveland.

With just 52 seconds to go, the Ravens tied it up at 9-9. Tucker had to kick it following an incomplete pass attempt in the end zone for Michael Crabtree. Cleveland then missed a long field goal, going to overtime for the third time this season.

The Browns finally won it on a late 37-yard field goal to move to 2-2-1 on the season.

The Browns are at home again in Week 6 as they host the Los Angeles Chargers. It will be another tough test for the talented Cleveland defense.
