Cleveland, Ohio
The Cleveland Browns achieved a stunning comeback victory against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at Huntington Bank Field, winning the game 13-10. This marked the Browns’ first win of the season, improving their record to 1-2, while the Packers fell to 2-1.
With less than four minutes left in the game, the Browns scored 13 unanswered points to shock the Packers, who had previously entered the game with an undefeated record. The dramatic victory culminated in a 55-yard field goal kicked by Andre Szmyt as time expired, sealing the triumph.
Prior to this game, the Browns struggled offensively, averaging just 16.5 points over their first two games. Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco started the game, amassing 90 pass attempts and 489 passing yards throughout the contest. He threw two touchdowns but also recorded three interceptions.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was a key target for Flacco, contributing nine receptions for 117 yards, averaging 13.0 yards per catch. Additionally, rookie running back Quinshon Judkins led the ground attack with 10 carries for 61 yards, offering a much-needed boost to Cleveland’s offense.
The Browns’ defense also rose to the occasion, with Myles Garrett, last season’s Defensive Player of the Year, recording 3.5 sacks and seven solo tackles. The unit collectively tallied five sacks, six tackles for loss, and a pivotal interception from safety Grant Delpit.
The Browns’ special teams played a significant role as well, with a crucial blocked field goal late in the game contributing to the momentum shift that favored Cleveland.
The Packers, having entered the match with momentum after wins against the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, saw their quarterback Jordan Love complete 18 of 25 passes for 183 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Their running back, Josh Jacobs, had showcased his abilities in previous games with 42 carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
Ominously for the Browns, they were held scoreless until the late stages of the fourth quarter. After falling behind, the team demonstrated resilience and tenacity, rallying to turn the tide. Szmyt, who overcame an injury scare earlier in the week, successfully kicked a 38-yard field goal and converted both extra points in the previous loss. His game-winning kick not only solidified his comeback but also defined the Browns’ right to celebrate their first victory of the season.
On the injury front, the Browns were without quarterback Deshaun Watson and defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. due to injuries, affecting their overall team strategy. Several other players were listed as questionable or on injured reserve, which added further challenges for the team as they sought to overcome their rocky start to the season.
Prior to this game, the Browns faced a heavy defeat against the Baltimore Ravens with a score of 41-17, creating a sense of urgency and need for improvement. The Packers, on the other hand, had enjoyed back-to-back wins, making their unexpected loss a surprising outcome that only emphasized the unpredictable nature of the NFL.
The Browns’ thrilling comeback serves as a reminder of their potential and determination, setting the stage for a more competitive season ahead as they look to build on this victory in the coming weeks.
