The Browns just held on to beat the Buccaneers, and it came down to a single fourth down snap.
The fourth down pass fell incomplete, and that was the game. Cleveland 23, Tampa Bay 19.
Deshaun Watson threw for 238 yards in the win, according to Adam Schefter.
Four points was the entire margin, which means every stop mattered.
And the last one came with the ball in the air and the game on the line.
Here is the wild part: seasons get defined by plays like that one. One incompletion, and the whole afternoon flips.
The NFL confirmed it as it happened: the pass was incomplete and the Browns were going to get the win.
Was that fourth down call the right one by Tampa Bay?
