Monday Night Football did not disappoint as the Denver Broncos beat the Cleveland Browns 41-32.
The offensive shootout saw an electric battle between quarterbacks Bo Nix and Jameis Winston. Nix had 294 passing yards, a touchdown and two interceptions while Winston had a career-high 497 passing yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions.
Winston had the chance to mount a game-winning drive, but ultimately threw a pick-six that helped the Broncos seal the win.
Adding to the excitement of Monday’s contest, former Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy went off against his former team. He had 235 receiving yards, which was the most any player has ever had against a former team, and found the endzone once. Unfortunately for Jeudy, his return to Denver didn’t end the way he hoped as his team lost and fell to 3-9.
Though he didn’t get the win, fans applauded Jeudy for his revenge game.

I mean, the Broncos are second in the NFL in points allowed per game.
The Browns have 32 points with 8:57 on the clock. What in the world is going on!!!!!!!

Twice now I’ve opened the YouTubeTV app to check in on the Broncos-Browns game and both times the feed popped up with a pick-6 going on. That’s wild.

When NFL fans saw the Browns vs. Broncos on the schedule for this week’s Monday night game, they likely weren’t expecting to see such an eventful game. Nix, Winston and Jeudy quickly made sure those who tuned in got a good show.
The win helped Denver improve to 8-5 on the year as the Broncos continue to exceed expectations and get closer to the playoffs. The Browns don’t have quite as much to play for at this point in the season, but that didn’t stop them from coming in and giving Denver a run for its money.
