Andre Szmyt landed a 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining to give the Cleveland Browns a nervy 27-24 win over divisional rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Aaron Rodgers had steered the Steelers back from 21-7 down to level inside the last two minutes, but was unable to produce a last-ditch response to Szmyt's winning kick.
Rodgers found Roman Wilson from 12 yards to open the scoring after a lengthy opening drive, but the Browns responded with three unanswered touchdowns in the second quarter.
Chris Boswell ended the half with a 31-yard field goal to cut the gap to 21-10, which remained until Rodgers, who had endured a frustrating evening, cut the gap with a 21-yard scoring pass to Darnell Washington in the fourth quarter.
Szmyt stretched the gap with three points from 44 yards, but Rodgers rounded off a late drive by finding Pat Freiermuth and running in a two-point conversion to level the scores.
But Szmyt struck the decisive blow to lift the Browns to 3-1.
