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.
