Former Michigan star Braylon Edwards leaped over a defender for a go-ahead 7-yard touchdown reception with 54 seconds left, lifting Cleveland past Detroit 21-13 Saturday in Edwards' professional debut.
On fourth-and-7, Charlie Frye lofted a pass to Edwards in the corner of the end zone and the No. 3 pick in the draft outjumped Michael Echols to make the catch.
Michael Jameson made an interception to seal the victory for the Browns (2-0) and later, snatched a lateral out of the air with no time left and scored from midfield.
Former Browns quarterback Jeff Garcia threw two interceptions and a TD pass for Detroit (0-2), finishing 9-of-15 for 99 yards. Harrington was 5-for-6 for 46 yards.
Bills 27, Packers 7
At Orchard Park, New York, 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 (2-0).
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.
Bills' kicker Rian Lindell made two field goals, including a 54-yarder, and rookie Lionel Gates padded the lead over Green Bay (1-1) with a 14-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Giants 27, Panthers 21
At East Rutherford, New Jersey, 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.
Eli Manning threw two long scoring passes to overcome a subpar performance by the Giants' first-team offense and defense, both of which were pushed around by the Panthers (1-1) in the first half.
Aside from the two touchdown passes, the Panthers' starters virtually shut down the Giants' offense. Defensive end Julius Peppers scored one of Carolina's touchdowns on a 29-yard fumble return.
Eagles 20, Ravens 14
At Baltimore, Dexter Wynn returned a punt 74 yards for a score, Donovan McNabb threw a 51-yard TD 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. He also ran for 27 yards on his lone carry against the Ravens (0-2).
Terrell Owens missed a second straight preseason game because of a groin injury he aggravated on Thursday.
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.
The Bears played without injured quarterback Rex Grossman and their top two running backs -- holdout Cedric Benson and incumbent starter Thomas Jones, whom the coaches kept out -- and they were still better than the usually efficient Colts (0-3).
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. Rookie Kyle Orton was 6-of-10 for 67 yards in relief and guided the Bears on their go-ahead drive, while Peterson carried 14 times for 60 yards and scored on a 4-yard run in less than a half.
