On September 20, 2025, in a significant upset, the Cleveland Browns defeated the Green Bay Packers 13-10. Playing in Cleveland, the Browns had entered the match looking for their first win of the season after facing defeats in their earlier games. On the other hand, the Packers aimed to maintain their winning streak after securing two victories. However, the game took a turn in the fourth quarter when the Packers, who were leading 10-0 at one point, allowed the Browns to fight back and tie the game. With only 27 seconds left, Green Bay attempted a field goal to secure the win, but the Browns' defense remarkably blocked the kick, setting the stage for their victory.
