CLEVELAND -- Cecil Shorts came home and broke some hearts. A Cleveland kid who grew up rooting for the Browns, Shorts caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Chad Henne with 40 seconds left, rallying the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 32-28 win on Sunday. On third-and-9, Henne lofted a perfect pass to the left corner for Shorts, who had beaten cornerback Joe Haden. Shorts got both feet down in the end zone before tumbling out of bounds. It was a dream moment for Shorts, who earlier this week talked about the excitement of returning to play in front of family members and friends. As a kid, his father raised him to support the local teams. "Im all Cleveland -- Browns, Indians, Cavaliers," he said. "Thats all I knew growing up." Hes added another entry to the citys pained sports history. Henne drove the Jaguars (3-9) 80 yards in nine plays for the winning TD as Jacksonville continued its stunning turnaround after losing its first eight games, all by at least 10 points. The Jaguars are 3-1 since their bye with all three victories on the road. Before Shorts catch, it appeared Browns beleaguered quarterback Brandon Weeden was going to shake off a rough afternoon. He had given the Browns (4-8) a 28-25 lead with a 95-yard TD pass to Josh Gordon with 3:55 left. Gordon returned from a head injury and finished 10 catches for a team record 261 yards. Hes the first player in NFL history to have consecutive 200-yard games. He had 237 in a loss last week against Pittsburgh, and Gordon has 1,249 yards this season despite missing two games with a drug suspension. Still, Henne marched the Jaguars downfield to win it. Jacksonville stopped Clevelands final chance by batting down a desperation pass by Weeden into the end zone. Josh Scobee kicked three field goals for the Jaguars. Down 21-20 and their offence doing nothing, the Jaguars took the lead when Browns centre Alex Mack snapped the ball over Weedens head into the end zone and the QB kicked it out of bounds for a safety. Weeden, back in the starting lineup because Jason Campbell has a concussion, finished 24 of 40 for 370 yards with three TDs and two interceptions -- both coming in the final 2:35 of the first half. A team spokesman said Weeden was diagnosed with a concussion following the game after reporting symptoms. Because of the head injury, Weeden did not speak with reporters. Henne went 24 of 40 for 195 yards and two TDs for the Jaguars. Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 77 yards and threw an 8-yard TD pass to Marcedes Lewis in the second quarter. Gordon left briefly in the third quarter after sustaining a head injury while trying to make a leaping catch. Safety Winston Guy knocked off Gordons helmet. Gordons head snapped back and he appeared to bang it as he landed on the hard ground. Guy was penalized for an illegal hit. Gordon walked to the sideline without any help, was examined on the bench and escorted to the locker room for further evaluation. He returned to a large ovation in the final minute of the quarter and caught a 10-yard pass on his first play back. A few plays after Gordon went out, Weeden connected with Greg Little for a 4-yard TD to put the Browns ahead 21-20. Weeden fell apart late in the second period, throwing the two picks and getting stripped of the ball as the Jaguars converted three turnovers into 13 quick points to take a 20-14 halftime lead. Until his meltdown, Weeden had looked sharp for most of the opening half. He connected with Gordon on a 21-yard TD for a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. The Jaguars tied it when Jones-Drew took a pitch to the right and lobbed his scoring pass to Lewis. Weeden targeted Gordon on nearly every play as Jacksonvilles young secondary struggled to handle the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder, who has emerged as a rising NFL star. Willis McGahees 1-yard TD run gave the Browns a 7-0 lead, but the Jaguars responded with Hennes 18-yard scoring toss to tight end Clay Harbor. Vapormax Bianche In Offerta .

Here are some of the best from Week One and some to watch in Week Two: TOP PERFORMERS Anthony Allen, RB, Saskatchewan (176 YDS, 2 TD, 30 touches vs. Hamilton) - Powerfully-built back burst onto the scene in his CFL debut, after a couple of years in the NFL, playing 21 games with the Baltimore Ravens. Vapormax Nere Saldi .Y. - The Philadelphia Eagles game at Green Bay against the Packers on Nov.MILWAUKEE -- David Holmberg pitched six effective innings, Billy Hamilton hit a two-run triple and the Cincinnati Reds beat Milwaukee 5-1 on Saturday night, snapping the Brewers three-game winning streak. Holmberg (1-1) allowed two hits in his first major league win, including Aramis Ramirezs fourth-inning homer. The left-hander has yielded one earned run in 12 2-3 innings over three September appearances. The Brewers offence is struggling as it tries to keep pace in the National League playoff race. The Brewers entered the evening 1 1/2 games behind Pittsburgh for the second wild-card spot. Cincinnati scratched out two runs in the fourth on a bases-loaded walk and sacrifice fly off Yovani Gallardo (8-10). The speedy Hamilton broke open a one-run game with his triple to the gap in right-centre in the seventh. Hamiltons first extra-base hit since Aug. 28 came against Zach Duke, part of a porous outing for a Brewers bullpen that gave up three runs and six hits combined in the seventh and eighth innings. The 23-year-old Holmberg overcame an early bout of wildness after hitting two batters in the first, when the Brewers also had their best chance at a big inning. An unusual double play with runners on first and second and nobody out helped bail out Cincinnati. Jonathan Lucroys hard-hit grounder to shortstop Zack Cozart froze Carlos Gomez leading off second.dddddddddddd Cozart threw to second for a forceout before Cincinnati tracked down Gomez in a rundown. Holmberg then got Khris Davis to fly out to right to end the inning. A frustrating night at the plate for Milwaukee included a corkscrew swing for Gomez through a Holmberg curveball for a strikeout. Gomezs helmet fell off during the swing, and the animated outfielder slammed his bat down on the helmet on the ground before walking away.
