On top in the fourth: Jameis Winston finds Nick Chubb to give Browns fourth quarter lead

Jameis Winston now has FOUR passing touchdowns on the night!

The Cleveland Browns take a 32-31 lead in the fourth quarter as quarterback Jameis Winston finds running back Nick Chubb for his fourth touchdown pass of the game against the Denver Broncos.

With just under nine minutes to go in the game, Winston found his running back for a five-yard score to give the Browns a 32-31 lead. Cleveland went 72 yards in nine plays following a Denzel Ward interception to pull ahead in the Mile High City.

Receiver Michael Woods came up with a big third-down grab early in the drive, while Jerry Jeudy continued his career day with a clutch third-and-15 reception to keep the drive alive. Jeudy is now up to eight catches for 219 yards and a touchdown on the day, trailing only Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase for the most yards in a game this season. Winston is putting up a vintage performance tonight, completing 30 of 49 passes for 446 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception.

This game has been a primetime thriller for viewers across the country, but the Browns’ defense will need to step up and make key plays if they want to secure the win.

Big-time response: Jameis Winston bounces right back with masterful 2 minute drill

Jameis Winston finds David Njoku again!

The Cleveland Browns operated a masterful two-minute drill with quarterback Jameis Winston at the helm to draw closer at the end of the half against the Denver Broncos.

Right after throwing a pick-six on a promising drive, Winston connected with tight end David Njoku for a four-yard touchdown to cut Denver’s lead to 21-17 near the end of the first half. Cleveland orchestrated an 11-play, 70-yard drive to secure a crucial score as they aim to double up after halftime. It was Njoku’s second touchdown of the game.

Receivers Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore were instrumental on the drive, combining for 57 yards to move the Browns into scoring position. Jeudy made a key third-down reception early, while Michael Woods contributed a clutch 13-yard gain on another third down later in the drive.

Cleveland has racked up 298 total yards in the first half, crossing into Denver territory on every possession. However, a missed field goal and the earlier pick-six have kept them at 17 points. Winston has already thrown for 245 yards, with Jeudy hauling in five catches for 97 yards against his former team. Njoku has been a consistent red-zone threat, scoring twice to keep the Browns competitive against a tough Broncos squad.

Browns force massive turnover in first half vs. Broncos

The Browns picked off the rookie quarterback early on!

The Cleveland Browns have created a much-needed turnover against the Denver Broncos as cornerback Greg Newsome II comes away with a huge interception.

It’s been a hot start for Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix on Monday Night Football after he started the game with a couple of sharp passes. Early in the second quarter, Browns star cornerback Denzel Ward could force one of these sharp throws into the air on a deflection, eventually being caught by Newsome II. This was uncharacteristic for the Browns’ secondary as they usually do not secure interceptions early in the game.

The Browns secondary will have to continue forcing Nix to throw in these tight windows. After a few blown coverages early in the Broncos’ first drive, they have seemed to tighten down on their man and zone coverage. The passing game is the heart of the Broncos’ offense and will continue to be a focal point in their secondary and overall defensive scheme.

We’ll see if the Browns secondary can continue to play to their potential.

On the board: Jameis Winston finds David Njoku to tie game

Jameis Winston continued his clean streak of football in the first quarter against the Broncos.

The Cleveland Browns tied up their game against the Denver Broncos as quarterback Jameis Winston capped off a stellar drive with a touchdown strike to tight end David Njoku.

With three minutes left in the opening quarter, Winston connected with Njoku for an eight-yard touchdown, tying the game at 7-7. Cleveland answered the Broncos’ opening score with a 70-yard drive in just five plays, highlighted by a 44-yard reception from receiver Elijah Moore as they look to upset the Broncos on Monday Night Football.

Recently elevated receiver Kadarius Toney contributed with a three-yard rush on a reverse while running back Jerome Ford added a four-yard run. Njoku bookended the drive, starting with an 11-yard catch and finishing it with a tight-window grab from Winston in the end zone.

The Browns’ offense has shown promise early, though their opening drive ended with a missed 47-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins. Winston has started strong, completing four of his first five passes for 107 yards, with Moore and Jerry Jeudy each recording 44-yard receptions. The run game is averaging four yards per carry on six attempts, aiming to maintain balance against Denver’s formidable defense.

Twitter reacts to Broncos’ alternate uniform on ‘Monday Night Football’

The Broncos wore their alternate uniform against the Browns on ‘Monday Night Football.’ Here’s how Twitter/X reacted to the new look.

The Denver Broncos wore their new alternate uniform for the first time against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football in Week 13.

In addition to their home orange jersey and white away jersey, the Broncos also have a navy alternate jersey worn with a white helmet (they also have a wildly-popular throwback uniform).

Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to the Broncos’ new alternate uniform during Monday’s game against the Browns.

The Broncos previously wore a white alternate helmet last year featuring the team’s throwback “D” logo. After unveiling a complete Orange Crush-inspired throwback uniform this spring, Denver made the white helmet its alternate helmet with the current logo.

Up next after the Cleveland game is a bye in Week 14 followed by a home game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. The Broncos will wear orange against the Colts. After that, Denver will wear white jerseys for a pair of road games. The Broncos will then wrap up the season wearing their throwback uniform against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.
