Braylon Edwards outjumped a defender and snatched the football for a go-ahead touchdown in his professional debut.
The 7-yard score with 54 seconds left lifted the Cleveland Browns to a 21-13 victory against the Detroit Lions on Saturday.
"It felt just like Michigan State," said the former Michigan star, who caught three TD passes in a triple-overtime win last year over the Spartans.
On fourth-and-7, rookie Charlie Frye lofted a pass to Edwards in the corner of the end zone and the No. 3 pick in the draft rose over Michael Echols, caught the ball and got both feet in bounds.
"I couldn't have drawn it up any better," said Edwards, who was playing in his hometown and 45 miles from his college.
Edwards was relegated to the sideline until late in the first half and wasn't used in the go-ahead drive until the 6-foot-3 receiver said a fade should be called against Detroit's shorter cornerbacks.
"Since he made the suggestion, I thought he should be in," Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel said.
Michael Jameson made an interception to seal the victory for the Browns (2-0) and later, Jameson snatched a lateral out of the air with no time left and scored a TD from midfield.
Cleveland's Sherrod Coates forced and recovered Howard Jackson's fumble at midfield with 3:13 left to give the Browns a chance to come back.
Before the rally, Jeff Garcia showed the Browns why they might have been wise to get rid of him, and why Detroit (0-2) probably hopes Joey Harrington stays healthy. Garcia threw two interceptions and a TD, finishing 9-of-15 for 99 yards.
Garcia's first interception came on an up-for-grabs heave toward the end zone, and his second was behind his intended target, just outside of the goal line.
"We can't win football games when we make mistakes like that," he said.
Charles Rogers made a twisting, over-the-shoulder, 29-yard TD catch on Garcia's second of three drives to give Detroit a 10-7 lead.
The Browns released Garcia in February, ending his one-year stint after signing a four-year deal worth $25 million. In 10 starts for the Cleveland, Garcia threw 10 TDs and nine interceptions. He signed a one-year, $2 million contract in Detroit, reuniting him with Steve Mariucci, who helped him develop into a Pro Bowl quarterback in San Francisco.
Harrington was efficient for the second straight week, completing 5 of 6 passes for 46 yards, but didn't throw a TD pass.
BILLS 27, PACKERS 7: At Orchard Park, N.Y., quarterback J.P. Losman, who has replaced Drew Bledsoe as the Bills' starter, engineered scoring drives on each of his first three possessions to lead Buffalo. Playing the entire first half, Losman finished 7-of-14 for 59 yards, energized by a sellout crowd in his first home preseason game. He added 36 yards rushing, scoring on a 1-yard keeper set up by ReShard Lee's 69-yard kickoff return in the second quarter.
JAGUARS 20, BUCS 17: At Tampa, Fla., David Garrard and Derrick Wimbush ran for second-half touchdowns and Josh Scobee kicked one of his two 29-yard field goals at the end of a 17-play, 10-minute drive that was a reminder of how Jacksonville (2-0) struggled to get the ball into the end zone last season.
CARDINALS 24, CHIEFS 17: At Kansas City, Josh McCown threw two touchdown passes in the second half in relief of Kurt Warner to rally the Cardinals. Damon Huard, who replaced Trent Green for Kansas City, was 1-for-12 for 11 yards and two interceptions. Huard was elevated to second team this week while regular backup Todd Collins nursed a hand injury.
GIANTS 27, PANTHERS 21: At East Rutherford, N.J., Inserted into the first unit after an injury to starter Will Peterson, rookie cornerback Corey Webster had an interception and recovered a fumble as the Giants (1-1) forced five turnovers and snapped the Panthers' 10-game preseason win streak.
TEXANS 19, RAIDERS 17: At Houston, receiver Doug Gabriel scored two first-quarter touchdowns and the Raiders' starting offense moved the ball at will in the first half before the Texans (1-1) rallied to win on a pair of fourth-quarter field goals of 53 and 46 yards by Kris Brown. The winner came with eight seconds left.
EAGLES 20, RAVENS 14: At Baltimore, Dexter Wynn returned a punt 74 yards for a score, Donovan McNabb threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to Brian Westbrook, and the Eagles benefited from three turnovers by Kyle Boller. McNabb went 6-for-9 for 107 yards before leaving in the second quarter with the Eagles (1-1) leading 17-0.
BEARS 24, COLTS 17: At Indianapolis, Adrian Peterson and Antoineo Harris each ran for a touchdown, the Bears (2-1) returned a punt for another TD and the Colts' high-scoring offense never got in sync. Chad Hutchinson, Grossman's replacement, recovered from two early interceptions to finish 5-of-8 for 40 yards. He also led the Bears on one touchdown drive.
STEELERS 17, DOLPHINS 3: At Pittsburgh, the Dolphins lost five fumbles in the first half and seven overall in a miserably played game, exhibition or not, and the Steelers (2-0) had just enough offense to capitalize.
