Jameis Winston sets the Browns’ franchise record, throwing three interceptions for a loss

Winston’s strong performance led the Browns to a season high in scoring as he set the franchise record for passing yards in a single game, breaking Josh McCown’s previous record of 457 set in 2015.

In addition to his 497 yards, Winston threw four touchdown passes and a successful two-point conversion.

Two of Winston’s touchdown passes went to TE David Njoku, who finished the game with nine receptions for 52 yards and two scores. Winston also hit Jeudy for a 70-yard touchdown in the third quarter and connected with RB Nick Chubb for a 5-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

However, Winston’s interceptions came at a costly time for the Browns.

Late in the second quarter, Winston led the Browns to the Broncos’ 29-yard line before intercepting a pass intended for TE Jordan Akins to Broncos LB Nik Bonitto. Bonitto returned the interception 71 yards for a touchdown.

Winston responded with a touchdown of his own, giving Njoku a score after leading an 11-play drive in just under 90 seconds to end the first half.

The Browns and Broncos traded blows early in the second half, and the Browns had the ball with less than three minutes to play and a chance to take the lead.

On first down from the Cleveland 42-yard line, Winston missed WR Elijah Moore on a short pass that CB Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted and returned for a touchdown to give the Broncos a two-point lead with less than two minutes to play bring to.

Winston continued to fight and led the Browns to the Denver 2-yard line, but threw an interception in the end zone to end the game.
