CLEVELAND (AP) — Joe Flacco passed for 374 yards and led Cleveland to 13 points in the fourth quarter, and the Browns withstood a Hail Mary on the final play to beat the Chicago Bears 20-17. Dustin Hopkins kicked a 34-yard field goal with 32 seconds left to put the Browns ahead. Flacco was intercepted three times but made some brilliant throws in the closing minutes, including two passes to David Njoku for 65 yards to set up Hopkins’ kick. Bears receiver Darnell Mooney got his hands on a heave to the end zone by Justin Fields on the game’s final play, but he couldn’t hold on.
