A Last-Minute Miracle
The Browns’ clash with the Ravens had all the makings of a classic rivalry matchup. Both teams entered the game with high hopes, but as the clock wound down, the Ravens appeared to be in control. Leading 27-24 with just seconds left in the game, Baltimore’s defense was poised to secure the win. However, an injury to starting quarterback Deshaun Watson forced the Browns to turn to Daniels, who had only seen limited action this season.

In a stunning display of athleticism, wide receiver Amari Cooper leaped over two defenders to snag the ball, landing in the end zone for a stunning touchdown as time expired. The crowd erupted, and the Browns had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, winning 30-27 in one of the most memorable finishes of the season.
The Impact of Kellen Daniels
