Playing in the Buckeye State for the first time following his decorated career at Ohio State, former wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught his first NFL touchdown pass in the second quarter of the New York Jets’ 31-30 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon.

The 10th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, Wilson beat Browns cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. on a fade route to the corner of the end zone to tie the game at 7 apiece. He then threw up an “O-H” to the Cleveland crowd, surely leaving any Buckeye fans in attendance conflicted on how to respond.

Wilson finished the game with a team-high eight receptions for 102 yards and two scores, including the game-winning 15-yard touchdown reception with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. He now has 12 catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns on the season.
