Two late-game miscues swung Cleveland’s clash with Detroit, turning a tight contest into a 34-10 loss. Szmyt’s 56-yard field-goal miss late in the third kept the Browns from trimming the deficit, while Jeudy’s would-be 28-yard connection on a crucial drive went awry, sapping momentum and exposing Cleveland’s stagnant offense through three quarters. The sequence underscored how a single error can derail a comeback against a tougher foe, a reminder for fantasy players to weigh kicker reliability and target consistency when evaluating Browns weapons.

Brandon McManus failed to convert a late 43-yard try as Shelby Harris and Denzel Ward disrupted the Packers' bid for a perfect start, setting up Andre Szmyt's 55-yard walk-off for Cleveland. Jordan Love and Green Bay controlled most of the game, but an late Grant Delpit interception flipped momentum and handed the Browns the win. Fantasy takeaway: one blocked kick can swing a game's outcome and alter kicker volatility narratives; Green Bay must regroup and manage late-game risks.

The setback accentuates the fragility of field-goal odds in high-leverage moments and invites managers to weigh kickers' reliability against matchup risk and wind conditions. Green Bay now pivots to the next test, focusing on execution in critical late-game sequences and balancing agency with special-teams volatility in DFS and season-long planning.
