Ravens stun Browns on last-play blocked kick and TD return

Safety Will Hill scooped it up and returned it down the sideline for a touchdown to finish a surprisingly entertaining 33-27 Baltimore win.

Not the Cubs or Sixers… The Browns and Ravens, with a combined five wins heading into tonight’s Week 12 matchup, mostly struggled on offense through two quarters.

For others, it’s time to shift attention to the Cavaliers and National Basketball Association superstar LeBron James. Baltimore Ravens’ Timothy Jernigan and Courtney Upshaw hit McCown and it led to the Browns starter heading off the field with a shoulder injury. Then, there was the final play of the contest.

The Browns’ first Monday night home game since 2009 had a bit of a preseason feel to it. At kickoff, the seats at FirstEnergy Stadium were only about half full.

How low can they go? The Browns are coming off their bye week in which they took a long, hard look at their run defense which remains the worst in the NFL.

They lost as only the Browns can. This is the deepest point on the surface of the earth.

In 2002, ironically the restored franchise’s only playoff season, Dwayne Rudd’s helmet toss, still the all-time palm-to-forehead-slapper to me, cost a game after it should have been won. And – of course – San Diego made the do-over. KICK-6! UNBELIEVABLE! Baltimore blocks last second FG and returns it for walk-off TD.

Nobody inside the team will get much sleep after the way the Browns lost to the Ravens, but Tuesday morning the Browns have to start getting ready for next Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals under the assumption that Josh McCown will not be available. He’s the fifth punt-return specialist the Ravens have tried this season.

For your viewing pleasure, enjoy the view of one fan who figured he was about to catch a thrilling Browns victory on his cell phone, only to realize he was catching a microcosm of the life of a Browns fan.

Travis Coons’ 51-yard field goal try was blocked by Brent Urban, who busted through the tandem of rookie first-round picks Danny Shelton and Cam Erving. Those are just the household names; there are a total 18 players on IR or the reserve/PUP list. It enabled John Harbaugh to win. Davis led a game-tying touchdown drive.

Tied 27-27, the Browns lined up for a game-winning 50-yard field goal attempt.

PASSING-Baltimore, Schaub 20-34-2-232. Cleveland, McCown 21-38-0-212, Davis 7-10-0-77.

Although fans had chanted “Johnny!”
