Quinshon Judkins scored the decisive touchdown as Cleveland improved to 6-4 heading into its Week 11 bye.
Cleveland secured its sixth victory of the season with a 27-24 win over Houston, completing another fourth-quarter rally. Quinshon Judkins delivered the winning score on a 5-yard touchdown run after Deshaun Watson connected with Harold Fannin for 30 yards.
Houston regained possession with 47 seconds remaining and an opportunity to force a tie with a field goal. The Texans picked up a first down but advanced no farther, surrendering possession when C.J. Stroud threw incomplete on fourth down.
The Browns had erased a 17-0 deficit by scoring 20 unanswered points, moving ahead late in the third quarter. Houston reclaimed the lead in the fourth on an 11-yard touchdown pass, with a defensive pass interference penalty helping the drive. Cleveland eventually answered on its third opportunity.
Watson finished with 312 passing yards and a touchdown, completing 25 of 40 attempts. He also led Cleveland's rushing with 49 yards and a touchdown from eight carries. Fannin caught seven passes for 91 yards.
Stroud completed 20 of 38 attempts for 211 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Nico Collins contributed nine receptions, 94 yards and a touchdown. After scoring 17 points across its opening three possessions, Houston scored only once more.
Cleveland enters its Week 11 bye at 6-4 before hosting the Raiders in Week 12. Fox's broadcast noted that the Browns' 4-0 home record is their first such start since 1963. Houston fell to 3-6 and next faces the Colts on Thursday night.
