Browns lose in the most Cleveland way ever instead of upsetting Bengals
The Cleveland Browns lost in a way only they could.
They had multiple chances to upset the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL regular season. But they couldn't get it done.
And not only was it a defeat, but one done in an absolutely embarrassing way.
The Browns essentially had two late-game drives with a chance, and a huge mistake before that.
First, they scored to take a 16-14 lead, but Andre Szmyt missed the extra point. That was midway through the third quarter but is worth remembering.
...
...with 2:25 to play, Szmyt missed a 36-yard field goal attempt wide right.
[Second, the INT that the receiver played hot potato with]
