The Denver Broncos delivered a stunning performance against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night, securing a 41-32 victory thanks to two crucial interception returns for touchdowns. Otherwise, the night could have been filled with Browns’ moments that set new records.
The game was a rollercoaster of emotions. Winston set a Browns record with 497 yards and four touchdowns but also threw three interceptions. Jeudy had a huge game against the Broncos with 9 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown, though it wasn’t enough for the win.
Despite passing for over 400 yards, Winston’s two key interceptions turned into touchdowns. In the second quarter, linebacker Nik Bonitto returned an interception 71 yards for a score. Then, with just 1:48 left, rookie Ja’Quan McMillian sealed the win with a 44-yard pick-six.

The Browns, on the other hand, fall to 3-9, with Winston’s three interceptions proving to be the difference in the game. The victory improves the Broncos’ record to 8-5, placing them in the seventh and final playoff spot with a 76% probability of making the postseason.
Broncos fans call for Levi Wallace’s release despite the win
The Denver Broncos received backlash after their game against the Cleveland Browns, where cornerback Levi Wallace struggled. Riley Moss’ absence resulted in nine targets for Wallace, who gave up six receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown.
Fans and commentators called for Wallace’s release due to his poor performance, including allowing over 76% of passes thrown his way this season. Wallace benched for rookie Kris Abrams-Draine in the game’s closing moments.
Levi Wallace get him off the field! He’s the worst DB we got!!

– Why TF would we even sign him?! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Although the Broncos won, Wallace’s future with the team remained in question.
