CLEVELAND, Ohio – Games like this are why it’s awful to follow the Browns .

Don’t you feel that way after their 17-16 loss to the Bengals on Sunday .

The missed extra point …

THE MISSED EXTRA POINT!!!

That was with 7:20 left in the third quarter. Joe Flacco had just thrown a pretty 5-yard TD pass to Cedric Tillman. Cleveland had a 16-14 lead.

Andre Szmyt lined up for the extra point. The rookie had already kicked one in the first half. He also had boomed a 45-yard field goal. All that in the second quarter of his first NFL game.
