Elijah Molden has his third interception of the season.
The Chargers allowed the Browns to engineer a 14 play, 65 yard drive to open the second half as Cleveland grinded their way all the way to LA’s 5 yard line. On first and goal, a Jameis Winston slant to Cedric Tillman was dropped before a hard hit by linebacker Troy Dye, setting up second and goal.
With Tarheeb Still in the game for the injured Ja’Sir Taylor, who left with a fibula injury he’s been dealing with for the better part of the season, Winston looked his way. The fifth round rookie was lined up against Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland’s best receiver this season.
Jeudy ran a corner route as Winston tried to layer the ball over Still’s head, but the rookie got up and tipped the ball with one hand. The tip brought the ball back into the field of play with no other Browns players near it, allowing Molden to safely make the catch and get down for a touchback.
The interception widens Molden’s team lead in picks, as he is the only Chargers player with multiple interceptions on the season. It was also Winston’s 100th career interception.
