Quarterback Baker Mayfield led the Browns to their first win since Week 16 of the 2016 season.
This year's top pick replaced an injured Tyrod Taylor and carried Cleveland to a 21-17 comeback win over the visiting Jets.
Mayfield brought the Browns back from a 14-0 deficit. Carlos Hyde ran for 98 yards and two touchdowns.
Cleveland is now 1-1-and-1.
