Andre Szmyt kicked a 32-yarder as time expired for a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Cleveland's Week 7 victory follows a 13-10 win against the Baltimore Ravens, which also ended on a Szmyt field goal with no time remaining. That kick was from 37 yards, completing a comeback from a 10-point deficit .

Deshaun Watson threw for 308 yards, completing 25 of 36 passes with 1 interception. He completed all three of his passes on the Browns' final drive, including a 36-yard catch-and-run by tight end Harold Fannin.

KC Concepcion notched 8 receptions for 129 yards, while Quinshon Judkins rushed for 96 yards on 17 carries.

With the win, the Browns improve to 5-2 and are tied for first place in the AFC North with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who defeated the New Orleans Saints 16-10 earlier on Sunday in Paris.

Tennessee scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, helped by an interception by Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. The Titans opened by moving 65 yards in six plays, finished off with a 15-yard pass from Cam Ward to Carnell Tate followed by a 36-yard touchdown run by Tony Pollard.

Following an interception by Cor'Dale Flott on Cleveland's first drive, Pollard scored his second TD four plays later with a 10-yard rush.

Tennessee nearly had a two-touchdown lead after its defense forced a three-and-out toward the end of the first quarter. After advancing 53 yards on 11 plays, Pollard appeared to have his third TD on a 3-yard rush up the middle. However, the play was reviewed and Pollard's knee was ruled to be down before the ball crossed the goal line.

With three plays from the 1-yard line, the Titans could not punch the ball in for a score. Ward was stopped on a push up the middle, then was sacked on the next play. With a fourth-and-goal, Titans coach Robert Saleh opted to go for the TD but Pollard was stopped on an inside run by linebacker Winston Reid.

Both teams exchanged turnovers on their next respective possessions with Fannin fumbling for Cleveland and Denzel Ward getting an interception for the Browns on the next play.

Cleveland then tied the score at 14-14 with a 78-yard drive highlighted by 21-yard and 32-yard completions from Watson to Concepcion. Judkins finished off the series with a 6-yard TD run. The Browns took the lead on their next possession on a 28-yard field goal by Szymt.

The Titans got a game-tying field goal on a 29-yarder from Joey Slye with 8:41 remaining in the fourth quarter. But Cleveland took the lead on its next possession, finishing off a 71-yard series with Watson running 9 yards for the score.

Tennessee responded with a touchdown drive of its own with Cam Ward completing passes of 14 yards, 26 yards and 18 yards before Pollard got his third TD of the game on a 1-yard run.
