Things were setting up for a storybook ending for Browns quarterback Austin Davis, who had entered in relief of an injured Josh McCown and put his team into position towin on "Monday Night Football."Ravens defensive endBrent Urban had other ideas.MORE: Shockers of the NFL season| Fans' reactionssum up Cleveland's despair perfectly Urban, playing in his first NFL game, blocked a 51-yard field-goal attempt byTravis Coons and Will Hill returned it 64 yards with no time remainingto give the Ravens a 33-27 win at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland."Its surreal, man. After being out for this long, its crazy," Urban said, according to The Baltimore Sun. The 2014 Ravensdraft pick mi sedmore than 1 1/2 seasons because of injuries."Im almost speechle s. Its just a wonderful feeling."Davis entered the game in the fourth quarter after McCown injured his right collarbone. The former Rams quarterback, who was signed by the Browns in September, hit Budda Baker Jersey speedy receiverTravis Benjamin in stride for a game-tying 42-yard touchdown with 1:47 remaining.Following an interception of Ravens quarterback Matt Schaubby Tramon Williams with 55 seconds remaining, Davis moved the Browns into field-goal range with a 7-yard scramble to the Ravens' 33-yard line. That set up the fateful play, in whichHill who was caught out of position on Benjamin's TD reception scooped up Urban's block and tiptoed down the sideline for the winning touchdown."That play with Tyvon Branch Jersey Benjamin, I should have been right there. I was locked in on something else and made the wrong play," Hill said, per the Sun. "But I was praying. I said, If we get a block and it bounced my way, Im going to take it to the end zone. Luckily, it did.""A tough one to wrap your brain around. Frustrating. Our guys battled back, came back from some deficits, didn't finish it," Browns coach Mike Pettine said in his postgame pre s conference, according to Cleveland.com.MORE: Week 12 photos |NFL Playoff Picture | Week 12 bad beats for bettors Both teams punted on their opening po se sion, but the Ravens (4-7) got an 82-yard punt return by rookieKaelin Clay, who's already on his third NFL team, to open the scoring.After the teams exchanged field goals, the Ravens increased their lead on Buck Allen's first career touchdown. Allen caught a short pa s from Schaub, who was playing for injured starter Joe Flacco,and darted to the end zone. Browns linebackers Karlos Dansby and Christian Kirksey badly mi sed tackle attempts on Allen, allowing the rookie from USC to score.The Browns (2-9) quickly responded with a nine-play, 62-yard drive that ended with a 10-yard pa s from McCown to Marlon Moore after McCown scrambled to keep the play alive.Coons booted a 21-yard chip shot as time expired in the second quarter to Jared Veldheer Jersey cut the Ravens' lead to17-13.COLLEGE KICK-SIXES: Georgia Tech vs. FSU | Auburn vs.AlabamaDansby made up for his poor tackling attempt on Allen's touchdown with a 52-yard pick-six of Schaub to put the Browns ahead 20-17 with 12:16 remaining in the third quarter. It was the sixth interception return for a touchdown in Dansby's career and was the sixth pick-six thrown by Schaub since 2013.Schaub, who went 20 for 34with 232yards on the Corey Peters Jersey night, came back to throw a 15-yard touchdown pa s to Kamar Aiken, who dived toward the pylon and reached the ball over the goal line before falling out of bounds.The Ravens extended their record of one-score games; all 11 games this season have been decided by eight points or fewer, and10 games have had a margin of six points or fewer."That was a special one. Ive been a part of some crazy endings and some crazy games, but I think that was a first to end on a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown," Schaub said, per the Sun.Pettine told reporters after the game that he had not yet ruled McCown out for next week's game against the Bengals. He said that if McCown is"cleared to play, he will play."If Davis gets the nod,he wouldbecome the 24th QB to start a game for the Brownssince the team re-entered the NFL in1999. One of those two dozen,Johnny Manziel,was active Monday but was listed as the No. 3 quarterback.This article has been updated. Contributing:Sporting News Media's Tom Gatto
