CLEVELAND — Browns kicker Andre Szmyt hit a 37-yard field goal as time expired to lift Cleveland to a 13-10 upset win Sunday over the Ravens.

The Ravens (4-2) had just 72 yards and were held scoreless after halftime as they struggled in their AFC North opener. Their defense had a chance to give quarterback Tyler Huntley one final fourth-quarter possession, but Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson found wide receiver Jerry Jeudy for a 33-yard gain on third-and-5 with 42 seconds remaining inside Huntington Bank Field.

The Ravens will head into perhaps the toughest part of their schedule smarting from a bad loss. From Week 7 until their Week 13 bye, the Ravens will face the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans. All but the Chargers appear to be serious playoff contenders.

Huntley, making his second straight start for the injured Lamar Jackson (ankle), went 19-for-31 for 165 yards against Cleveland (4-2). He was sacked three times, had little success throwing downfield and was fortunate to avoid throwing a few interceptions. The Ravens’ run game started strong but faded fast, finishing with 87 yards (3.8 per carry). Running back Derrick Henry had just 58 yards (3.4 per carry) and a costly turnover.

The Ravens advanced past the Browns’ 45-yard line just once in the second half. That drive ended with kicker Tyler Loop missing a 49-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, when the Ravens led 10-3.

Watson went 16-for-26 for 164 yards and was sacked five times. Jeudy had four catches for a game-high 69 yards.

The Browns evened the score for the first time since the game’s opening minutes midway through the fourth quarter. Two plays after cornerback Keyon Martin was called for pass interference on a third-and-6 play in the red zone, Browns running back Audric Estime scored from 2 yards out. The rushing touchdown capped a 35-yard drive that started after Henry fumbled for the first time this season.

The Ravens had no trouble moving the ball early, racking up 111 net yards on their first two possessions. Tight end Josh Cuevas’ 2-yard touchdown catch on a fourth-and-goal play capped an 11-play, 66-yard drive to open the game. Loop extended the Ravens’ lead to 10 with a 34-yard field goal just under four minutes later.

Cleveland, which had just three first downs on five first-half possessions, didn’t score until its opening drive of the third quarter. Szmyt’s 48-yard field goal cut the Browns’ deficit to 10-3.

A loss that means more

Jesse Minter told the Ravens heading into Sunday’s game that a win in the AFC North would be extra valuable. He called it “plus one and a half” in the standings.

Which means that the opposite is true, too. The Ravens not only wasted an impressive defensive performance, but they suffered an extra-valuable loss, too.

After two weeks of high drama on the road, the Ravens will head home for a huge divisional game against the Bengals. An 0-2 start to division play wouldn’t be a death sentence, but it could be decisive come early January.

Destroyed by their own hubris

The Ravens had the gall to believe their fourth-quarter struggles were behind them last week. But the issue has never been come-from-behind victories. The issue is holding on to leads. Their big wins this season against Dallas and Atlanta have not been referendums on their biggest weakness over the last few years. The loss to New Orleans reinforced their reputation.

It took so many Ravens mistakes to allow Cleveland back in the game. Tyler Loop missed a makeable field goal. Derrick Henry coughed up a costly fumble. Tyler Huntley hit a wall in his second start, staring down receivers and struggling to make connections. The defense is just not good enough on third-down stops, and it showed up late in this one. You can’t hassle Deshaun Watson and the Browns offense into this bad of a first half and lose. But Baltimore somehow just finds ways, year after year, to sink to a new low when it comes to choking.

A truly frustrating loss

There’s always the dumb reaction to a decent “Snoop game,” when some segments of the fanbase wonder if Lamar Jackson is that important to the Ravens.

He is. If that’s not your takeaway today, I can’t help you. But the Ravens had many other flaws — in the secondary, for sure, but elsewhere, too — exposed. And, although they’ve won thrilling games against Dallas and Atlanta, there’s no way to have much faith in them after squandering games against the Saints and the Browns.

The problem with a slogan is that it follows a team, good or bad. And so far the Ravens have been at their best when their best was needed only about 50% of the time. And it’s not remotely good enough.

Same old Ravens

The Ravens have changed! They’ve won games they would have lost!

Well, not really.

The offense turned the ball over on a critical drive. The defense didn’t hold. And then the offense responded to the Browns’ touchdown drive by going three-and-out. All phases of the game were at their worst when their best was needed.
