NASHVILLE – The vibes were good early at Nissan Stadium, as the Titans came out firing while building a two-touchdown lead.
But the mood shifted during the course of the game, which ended on a sour note.
A 32-yard field goal by Browns kicker Andre Szmyt on the final play of the game gave Cleveland a 27-24 win.
The Titans tied it late, only to be left heartbroken at the end.
Trailing 24-17 with just under five minutes left, Titans quarterback Cam Ward directed an 11-play, 63-yard drive that was capped off with a one-yard touchdown run by running back Tony Pollard.
The scoring drive tied the game at 24-24 with 58 seconds left.
But the Browns managed to get into field goal range in the closing seconds to win it.
With the loss, the Titans dropped to 1-6.
The Titans got off to a fast start, taking a 7-0 lead in just over two minutes on a 36-yard run by Pollard, who had 60 yards in the team's opening drive.
After an interception by cornerback Cor'Dale Flott, the Titans were back in business.
Soon, they've be back in the end zone on another touchdown run by Pollard, this one from 10 yards out to make it 14-0 at the 8:35 mark of the first quarter.
In an action-packed first quarter, the Browns cut the lead to 14-7 in a five-yard touchdown run by Quinshon Judkins.
The Titans had a chance to extend their lead in the second quarter, but after a first-and-goal from the Cleveland four, they came away with no points after being stopped on three consecutive plays from the one-yard line, and the score remained 14-7.
The two teams swapped turnovers in the next two possessions, with Ward throwing an interception after Titans linebacker Anthony Hill forced a fumble, and safety Tony Adams recovered it, for the Titans on defense.
The Browns then tied the game at 14-14 on another touchdown run by Judkins, this one from five yards.
The Browns led 17-14 at the half on a 28-yard field goal by kicker Andre Szmyt.
After a scoreless third quarter, the Browns had a chance to extend their lead. But a 43-yard field goal try by Szmyt was no good, and the Titans got the ball back.
A 29-yard field goal by Titans kicker Joey Slye tied the game at 17-17 with 8:41 remaining.
But the Browns drove the ball 71 yards in just eight plays when they got the ball back, and retook the lead 24-17 on a nine-yard touchdown run by quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Then came the wild finish.
The Titans return to action next Sunday at the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Tennessee Titans take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 7 at Nissan Stadium.
