But Gordon was the highlight of the Browns' 27-21 defeat at FirstEnergy Stadium. The speedster had a team-high 69 receiving yards.
He also made an early play to tie the game for the Browns. Cleveland was trailing Green Bay 7-0 at the 4:50 mark of the first quarter. Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer stepped in for a 2nd and 7 play on the Packers' 18-yard-line. Kizer fired a pass to his right, watching Gordon sprint down the seam. Gordon stretched out and snatched the pass for a touchdown, showing off his strong hands.
The Browns wide receiver celebrated by dancing with his teammates. He then ran to the sideline and put on some black sunglasses.
