CLEVELAND (AP) — Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns are developing a knack for coming up big in the fourth quarter. Watson led a go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter for the third straight week as he moved the Browns into position for Andre Szmyt’s career-long 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining that gave Cleveland a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. “I knew it was money. He told me the landmark, so he was just lining it up and we see it all the time,” Watson said about Szmyt’s second field goal, which gave the Browns a 3-1 record for the first time since 2001. The Browns had a 21-7 lead late in the first half before the Steelers rallied to tie it at 24-all.
