Harold Fannin Jr. #44 of the Cleveland Browns <\/p>\n
It was another magical ending for the Cleveland Browns <\/a>on the road in Tennessee on Sunday in Week 7, as the team locked up a 27-24 win on a field goal knocked through by Andre Szmyt with no time remaining on the clock. The kick came after a huge 36-yard catch-and-run from tight end Harold Fannin, who caught the pass from Deshaun Watson at about the 50-yard line with 25 seconds to play in a tie game, turned and rumbled another 30 yards down to the Titans<\/a>\u2018 19. That put Szmyt in position for the win. <\/p>\n So the fairytale season moves ahead, with the Browns now 5-2 and in first place as they face a monster game against the 5-2 Steelers<\/a> on the road next Sunday. The Browns beat the Steelers at home in Week 4, and a win in Pittsburgh would be like two wins for Cleveland, because it would seal the tiebreaker. <\/p>\n Browns Clearly Guilty of False Start<\/p>\n Not everyone was taken by the thrill of the Browns\u2019 final drive, though. In fact, many poked a giant hole in it: right tackle Dawand Jones<\/a>, in for Tytus Howard, clearly was guilty of a false start before the snap, moving out of his set and stepping back in pass protection a full beat before the ball was snapped.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll have to look at the tape,\u201d Titans coach Robert Saleh said after the game. \u201cIt looked like from live, I think they did (false start), yeah.\u201d <\/p>\n The \u2018TruthSeeker<\/a>\u201d betting account, with 130,000 followers, wrote, \u201cTHE NFL<\/a> IS 100% RIGGED. This was clearly a false start by the #Browns<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\tTHE NFL IS 100% RIGGED. This was clearly a false start by the #Browns<\/a> <\/p>\n \u2018Titans Were Robbed\u2019<\/p>\n There was not much sentiment in favor of the Browns on that one, other than to point out that other calls against the Titans were missed, too. <\/p>\n As @Matt_StCharles wrote, \u201cBlown away by the amount of people acknowledging the false start but saying it didn\u2019t impact the play. IF A FALSE START IS CALLED, THERE IS NO PLAY.\u201d<\/p>\n Ari Meirov of The 32nd Team noted, \u201cI have no idea how there isn\u2019t a false start on Cleveland here on the play that got them in FG range. I mean, c\u2019mon.\u201d<\/p>\n Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, added<\/a>, \u201cIt was very early. Noticeably earlier than the move perfected in recent years by Eagles<\/a> right tackle Lane Johnson<\/a>, who routinely utilized the technique of going at the perfect moment to give him a jump on blocking the pass rusher without having the plug on the play pulled by a false-start penalty. Jones didn\u2019t just leave early. And he didn\u2019t use the far more common single early step with his right foot. He jumped back<\/a>, like he\u2019d just seen a rattlesnake.\u201d<\/p>\n And from the Titans\u2019 London fan site<\/a>: \u201cSeriously, how does every official with eyes miss this false start by the Browns RT on one of the biggest plays of the game? Our @Titans<\/a> were robbed here.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tSean Deveney<\/a> is a veteran sports reporter covering the NBA, NFL and MLB for Heavy.com.
