CLEVELAND -- Wide receiver Davante Adams and the Green Bay Packers literally walked off with a 27-21 overtime win over the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium Sunday.
On third-and-six from the Cleveland 25-yard line, Packers quarterback Brett Hundley threw a quick screen pass to the left side of the formation to Adams, who secured the catch, spun out of a tackle attempt and outraced the Browns’ secondary into the end zone.
Adams never broke stride, even after scoring the touchdown, ran up the visiting-team tunnel at FirstEnergy Stadium and headed straight to the locker room following the come-from-behind victory for the Packers (7-6).

Adams started the play on the outside of the formation, but ran toward the quarterback after the snap. Then, after catching the pass two yards behind the line of scrimmage, the spin move got him away from two tackle attempts and set him on a course for his team-leading eighth touchdown of the season.
The Browns won the coin toss in overtime and took the ball, but on third-and-two from his own 33-yard line, rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer scrambled to his right, reversed course back left, and threw a pass as he was hit by Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews III.
Matthews got enough of Kizer’s arm to alter the flight of the pass, and the jump ball was intercepted by Packers safety Josh Jones at the Cleveland 42-yard line.
It was the rookie safety’s first career NFL interception.
