The Browns keep finding a way anyway. Audric Estime got signed off Minnesota's practice squad, joined the 53-man roster 5 days before the Ravens game and scored the tying 2-yard touchdown in the 4th quarter. Watson then hit Jerry Jeudy for 33 yards to set up Andre Szmyt's field goal on the final snap. That's 3 wins by exactly 3 points in the last 5 games. You can call it clutch or you can call it living on the edge, and either way it's working.
Tennessee's first win under Robert Saleh came from the defense and special teams, not the offense. The Titans trailed 13-0 at half after 64 yards and 3 first downs. In the second half they forced 3 turnovers, finished with 6 sacks, got a 58-yard Chimere Dike punt return that set up a score, and had James Williams block a punt that Femi Oladejo returned for a touchdown. Joey Slye hit from 56 and 49. Ward's 8-yard touchdown to Carnell Tate tied the game, and Amani Hooker, back from a concussion, picked off a tipped pass. Six sacks against a Cleveland line that's missing its interior starters is the matchup to watch.
The forecast won't be an excuse for anybody: 69 degrees, cloudy, 5 mph wind and no rain expected. That puts it on the offenses, and neither has scored much this month. Cleveland put up 12 and 13 points in its last 2 games, and Tennessee went 7, 18 and 3 before the Colts game. Expect field position, turnovers and the kicking game to decide it. The Titans just proved they can win that kind of game, and the Browns have won it 4 times this year.
