He passed for 334 yards and three touchdowns.

Winston’s 38-yard touchdown pass to second-year receiver Cedric Tillman with 59 seconds left gave the Browns the lead.

Lamar Jackson drove his team to Cleveland’s 24-yard line in the final seconds.

He bought time to avoid sacks and threw two incompletions into the end zone, the second to Zay Flowers as time expired.

Jackson slammed his helmet to the ground in front of Baltimore’s bench as the loss snapped the Ravens’ five-game winning streak.

The win comes as the Browns and their fans were mourning the loss of longtime radio announcer Jim Donovan.

As reported on Saturday on News Center 7 at 11:00, he passed away Saturday following a long battle with cancer.

After the game, coach Kevin Stefanski told his team in the locker room that he would present the game ball to Donovan’s family.

“Jim loved the Cleveland Browns, he loved the team back, we will be here for his family,” he said. “This one’s for Jim.”
