The Jameis Winston era in Cleveland is off to a great start.

The Browns defeated the roaring Ravens and achieved their season-high win in a 29-24 win over Baltimore on Sunday. The win was just the Browns' second of the season and came against a Ravens team that entered Sunday with the second-best record in the AFC.

Cleveland capped the game offensively with a 38-yard touchdown pass from Winston to Cedric Tillman with 59 seconds left.

One play before the touchdown pass, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton missed an interception that hit him in the hands and almost secured the victory for Baltimore.

The game for Winston was his first as a starter for Cleveland, a week after starter Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear. Winston gave the Browns a second-half lead with two touchdown drives in the third quarter before throwing the game-winning touchdown in the final minute of regulation.

Winston finished the day going 27 of 41 for 334 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. A Browns offense that entered the day averaging an NFL league-worst 253.9 yards per game recorded 401 yards of total offense.

Cleveland led 20-17 in the fourth quarter and elected to attempt a 48-yard field goal with 4:55 left rather than attempt it on fourth-and-3. Dustin Hopkins managed to extend the lead to 23-17.

The Ravens responded with a six-play, 91-yard drive that ended with a two-yard Derrick Henry touchdown run, leaving Cleveland with 2:19 to respond. The Browns countered with a 69-yard touchdown drive and secured the victory.

Cleveland's defense then did the rest, stopping the Ravens short of the end zone before the game clock reached zero. The Ravens had a shot into the end zone on their final play after Lamar Jackson fought back and bought some time at the Baltimore 30 on the first-and-10. But his pass failed because Cleveland's secondary didn't allow any Ravens receivers access to the end zone.

When his final pass fell incomplete, Jackson took off his helmet and slammed it to the turf in frustration.
