The Story in 60 Seconds

Alex Kozora analyzes a pivotal missed sack by Alex Highsmith that helped the Cleveland Browns defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. During a first-and-goal play from Pittsburgh's 5-yard line, Highsmith shed a block from running back Quinshon Judkins but failed to bring down quarterback Deshaun Watson, allowing Watson to complete a pass to Judkins down to the 1-yard line.

Kozora notes that instead of taking a major loss near the 15-yard line, Cleveland capitalized on third-and-goal when Watson threw a touchdown pass to tight end Harold Fannin Jr. against Jalen Ramsey. The score gave Cleveland a 21-7 lead and highlighted Pittsburgh's defensive tackling issues during the road defeat.
