In this story:

You always remember your first and Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson certainly won't forget his first touchdown in the pros.

In his third-career start, the fifth-round pick finally found pay dirt in the the third quarter against the Denver Broncos, hooking up with tight end Harrison Bryant for his first-career touchdown pass. 

Head coach Kevin Stefanski drew up a clever play call to get the young QB his first score, which came on fourth-and-goal from Denver's two. Stefanski utilized a modern day wishbone formation that featured Kareem Hunt, Nick Harris and Bryant lining up behind DTR. At the snap, Hunt and Harris faked a run to the left, while Harrison ran right down the line of scrimmage to the right and settled into a soft spot of the Broncos defense as Thompson-Robinson booted his direction and hit him with an easy pitch-and-catch for six.

The TD capped off an impressive 13-play, 79-yard drive that took more tha six minuted off the clock and brought Cleveland within two points of the Broncos, 14-12 at the time. Unfortunately, Thompson-Robinson's two-point conversion attempt fell incomplete via a rare drop by top wideout Amari Cooper.

Up to that point in the game, Thompson-Robinson had put together a respectable outing under center completing 13-of-26 passes for 131 yards and the lone score. 

The Cal product did exit the game on the Browns next series after a hard hit to the head left him bloodied and was flagged for roughing the passer. Cleveland is looking to win it's fourth-straight game if it can complete a comeback win over the Broncos in the fourth quarter.
