NASHVILLE, Oct. 25, 2026 — The Cleveland Browns defeated the Tennessee Titans 27–24 after kicker Andre Szmyt made a 32-yard field goal on the final play. It was a game of repeated momentum swings: Tennessee built a 14–0 lead, Cleveland recovered, and the Titans tied the score with less than a minute left before the decisive kick.
How did Cleveland set up the winning field goal?
After Tennessee's tying touchdown, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson led a four-play, 55-yard possession. A 36-yard completion to tight end Harold Fannin Jr. moved Cleveland into position for Szmyt's winning attempt. The kicker had missed from 43 yards earlier in the fourth quarter, making the successful final kick a particularly sharp turnaround.
The official Browns and Titans game recaps both confirm the 27–24 final and Szmyt's 32-yard winner. Cleveland improved to 5–2 while Tennessee fell to 1–6.
Why was the finish so dramatic?
Running back Tony Pollard scored three rushing touchdowns for Tennessee. His third, a one-yard run with 58 seconds left, completed an 11-play, 63-yard drive and made the score 24–24. That left the Titans needing one defensive stop to force overtime.
Instead, Cleveland quickly gained the yardage needed for a manageable field goal. The ending underlined how a final-minute drive can outweigh earlier mistakes, including a missed kick and an early two-touchdown deficit.
Watson, Concepcion and Pollard: the key numbers
Deshaun Watson completed 25 of 36 passes for 308 yards and scored a rushing touchdown. Rookie receiver KC Concepcion Jr. caught eight passes for 129 yards, both career highs in the Browns' team recap. Quinshon Judkins added two rushing touchdowns.
For Tennessee, Pollard finished with 129 rushing yards on 25 carries and his three scores. The Titans' quick opening, powered by two Pollard touchdowns, created a 14–0 advantage before Cleveland took control of the middle portion of the contest.
What the Browns–Titans result changes
Cleveland's fifth win kept it at the top of the AFC North at the time of the final whistle. Tennessee's strong start and late rally did not translate into a victory because the Browns had the last possession and used it efficiently. The result is final; the divisional standings can change as other Week 7 games finish.
