Cleveland's Jameis Winston threw his third touchdown pass, a 38-yarder to Cedric Tillman, with 59 seconds remaining as the Browns upset Baltimore 29-24 in the NFL on Sunday.
Winston, who moved into a starting role after DeShaun Watson suffered a torn Achilles tendon last week, completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards to spark Cleveland's second win in eight games this season.
The Ravens fell to 5-3, a half-game behind idle Pittsburgh in the AFC North division, despite reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson throwing for 289 yards and two touchdowns and Derrick Henry rushing 11 times for 73 yards and a touchdown.
Cleveland defenders shut down the NFL's top-scoring attack, denying Baltimore four times from the Browns 24-yard line to end the game.
Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made a comeback after missing four games with a concussion but the host Dolphins lost 28-27 to Arizona on Chad Ryland's 34-yard field goal as time expired.

Jared Goff threw for three touchdowns and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 127 yards and a touchdowns to power the Detroit Lions (6-1) over visiting Tennessee 52-14.
