CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Quarterback Arvell Nelson's touchdown pass to Collin Taylor with 34 seconds left to play Saturday night gave the Cleveland Gladiators a 41-40 victory over the Jacksonville Sharks at Quicken Loans Arena.

Nelson's strike from 26 yards capped a turnaround that saw the Gladiators score 20 unanswered points after falling behind 40-21 in the third quarter. Taylor's one-handed catch was his second touchdown of the game, extending his scoring streak to a team record 22 straight games. He had six receptions for 101 yards.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak and improved the Gladiators to 2-4.

Nelson, the former Glenville standout, completed 17 of 30 passes for 221 yards, with three passing touchdowns and three rushing.

Jacksonville quarterback Tommy Grady completed 26 of 42 passes for 241 yards and five touchdowns.

The Sharks, who scored on their first six possessions, led 26-14 at halftime. Cleveland's scores came on runs of three yards and one yards by Nelson, who added a 4-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter.

His 32-yard TD pass to Taylor with 1:31 left in the third quarter changed the momentum of a game that seemed in Jacksonville's control. Nelson hit Quentin Sims from 8 yards with 8:53 left in the fourth quarter to close the score to 40-35. Sims finished the night with six receptions for 61 yards.

A 2-point conversion attempt failed after Taylor's last-minute TD catch, but the one-point margin -- Cleveland's largest of the game -- was enough for the win.

Up next: The Gladiators will host the Portland Steel at 8 p.m. Monday, May 16 at the Q. The game originally was scheduled for May 13.
