The Denver Broncos defense scored two interception touchdowns to defeat the Browns 41-32 on Monday to spoil a record-setting night for Cleveland’s Jameis Winston and Jerry Jeudy. Winston passed for a Browns franchise-record 497 yards and four touchdowns, as well as three interceptions, while Jeudy torched his former team, amassing a career-high nine receptions for 235 yards and a TD in the losing effort. Despite being the first Browns quarterback to pass for over 400 yards since 2015, Winston’s brilliance was overshadowed by his two costly interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. Trailing 14-10 in the second quarter, the Browns offense was marching down the field, getting to within field goal range. However, Nik Bonitto picked off the gunslinging Winston, taking it to the house for the 71-yard pick-six with 1:38 left in the first half. Winston quickly made up for the interception, guiding the Browns offense 70 yards down the field, ending with a four-yard touchdown pass to tight end David Njoku. “In times like this, that is an opportunity to continue to glorify the Lord even through the toughest circumstances,” Winston said after the game. “I know I’m better than this, I’m just praying for the Lord to deliver me from pick-sixes. That’s not me.
