Jameis Winston, who threw a touchdown pass on a trick play in the first quarter in Detroit on Sunday, caught a TD pass in the fourth quarter on another trick play.
Up on the Lions by three points early in the fourth, Winston flipped the ball to receiver Gunner Olszewski and Winston slipped out on a pass route.

Olszewski moved up in the pocket and waited for Winston to get open and threw a perfect pass to the quarterback, who then broke a tackle from linebacker Derrick Barne to get into the end zone for a 33-yard score, helping the Giants build a 27-17 lead, as they looked for their third win of the season.
Winston earlier hit Wan’Dale Robinson for a 39-yard touchdown on a flea flicker for the game’s first points, as Winston withstood some pressure from the Lions on the play.

Interim head coach Mike Kafka, who has remained the team’s play caller after taking over for the fired Brian Daboll, has shown he’s not shy about trying some unorthodox plays.Â
