Will Hill returned a last-gasp blocked field goal attempt for a touchdown as the Baltimore Ravens scored a dramatic 33-27 win over the Cleveland Browns.
The Ravens had looked set to suffer an agonising late defeat as Cleveland kicker Travis Coons stepped up for what would have been a game-winning 51-yard field goal with the last play of regulation.
But Baltimore defensive end Brent Urban blocked the kick and Hill scooped up the loose ball to gallop down the sideline to snatch a sensational win for the Ravens.
The victory saw the Ravens, playing without injured quarterback Joe Flacco, improve to 4-7, although they remain in third in the AFC North standings behind division leaders the Cincinnati Bengals (9-2) and Pittsburgh (6-5).
The Browns are propping up the division on 2-9 and have now lost 14 of their last 16 games stretching back to last season.
Baltimore had looked to have done enough for victory when kicker Justin Tucker converted a 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to give the Ravens a 27-20 lead.
But Cleveland quarterback Austin Davis -- pressed into action after Josh McCown left the field with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter -- connected with wide receiver Travis Benjamin on a 42-yard touchdown pass with 1:47 left to tie the game at 27-27.
The momentum appeared to be with Cleveland on the final drive as Coons stepped up for his shot at glory.
The final twist came, though, when Urban somehow managed to get a hand to the attempt and Hill scooped up the ball to run for the score. afp
